Let
EV----------> <span>expected value
</span>
we know that

EV = (Probability of Winning)*(Value of Winning) + (Probability of Losing)*(Value of Losing)
so
EV=0.04*(200)+0.96*(-14)-----> EV=8+(-13.44)-----> EV=-$5.44
So
she expects to lose $5.44 every time she plays (this is on average)

the answer is
-$5.44

Use an algebraic approach to solve the problem.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 =  ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1
Shkiper50 [21]
There can be no negative in a sqrt 
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1\geq 0
x \geq -1
so all answers must be greater then  or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
