Answer:

2.65 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value for a discrete variable is calculated as:

E(x)=x1P(x1) + x2P(x2) + ... + xnP(xn)

Where x1, x2, ... , xn are the possibles values of the variable and P(x1), P(x2), ... , P(xn) are the probabilities of x1, x2, ... , xn respectively.

In this case, the roll can comes up 1, 2, 3 or 4 and you can win 1, 2, 3 or 4 dollars respectively. So, taking into account that they are mutually exclusive events, the probability that the player win 1, 2, 3 or 4 dollars is:

P(1) = 0.21

P(2) = P(1∪2) - P(1) = 0.42 - 0.21 = 0.21

P(3) = P(2∪3) - P(2) = 0.51 - 0.21 = 0.3

P(4) = 1 - P(1) - P(2) - P(3) = 1 - 0.21 - 0.21 - 0.3 = 0.28

Therefore, If you win the amount that appears on the die the expected winning are:

E(x) = $1P(1) + $2P(2) + $3P(3) + $4P(4)

E(x) = $1(0.21) + $2(0.21) + $3(0.3) + $4(0.28)

E(x) = $2.65

vredina [299]
12/60 students chose science fiction

Approximately x/150 students prefer sf

60x = 1800

x = 30

30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf

30/150 = x/100

150x = 3000

x = 20

20/100 students are likely to prefer sf

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.

six friends are going to the state fair.The cost of one admission is $9.50, and the cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.
larisa86 [58]

We are given

total number of friends =6

the cost of one admission is $9.50

now, we can find total cost for admission

total cost for admission= total number of friends*cost of one admission

total cost for admission=6*9.50

we are given

cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.50

now, we can find total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride= total number of friends*cost of one ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride=6*1.50

now, we can find total cost

total cost =total cost for admission+total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost=6*9.50+6*1.50

now, we can solve it

total cost=6(9.50+1.50)

total cost=6*11

total cost=66

so, the total cost is $66...........Answer
