Answers:
x = 7%
y = 2 slips
Explanation:
The expected value is the result of the sum of each value times its probabilities:
Expeted value = probability 1 × value 1 + probability 2 × value 2 + probability 3 × value 3 + .....
Case 1: at the beginning of the contest:
total number of slips: 30 + 15 + 5 = 50
probability 1 = 30/50
value 1 = 5%
probability 2 = (15/50)
value 2 = x%
probability 3 = (5/50)
value 3 = 15%
⇒ Expected value = 6.6% = (30/50) 5% + (15/50)x% + (5/50)15%
⇒ (15/50)x% = 6.6% - (30/50)5% - (5/50)15%
⇒ (15/50) x% = 2.1%
⇒ x% = (50 / 15) 2.1% = 7%
Answer: 7%
2) Case 2: at one point, ...
Yet, the equation for the expected value is:
Expeted value = probability 1 × value 1 + probability 2 × value 2 + probability 3 × value 3 + .....
Only the probabilities have changed, but the discounts are the same. This is x% is the same value found above: 7%.
The total number of slips now is 4 + y + 2 = 6 + y
And the expected value becomes:
8% = [ 4 / (6+y) ] 5% + [ y / (6 + y) ] 7% + [2 / (6 + y)] 15%
From which you obtain:
Mulitplying by 6+ y: 8% [6 + y] = 4×5% + y×7% + 2×15%
⇒ 8% y + 8%×6 = 4×5% + y 7% + 2×15%
⇒ 8% y - 7%y = 4×5% + 2×15% - 6×8%
⇒ 0.01y = 0.2 + 0.3 - 0.48 = 0.02
⇒ y = 2
Andy picked 5
brianna picked 3 more then andy...she picked 8
carley picked 16
carley picked 2 times as many tulips as brianne....because carley picked 16 and brianna picked 8
Answer:
0.0154°
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we are required to solve for x, which is the angle, there are two ways to go about about it, we either use four figure table or calculator.
To use calculator remember to set your calculator in degrees and not in radian.

Answer:
look this up on Gøogle should find it
Step-by-step explanation:
good luck
Lets say that y represents length and x width.
From the text we can write:
y=x/6 - 1
Perimeter we calculate:
P = 2*x + 2*y
now we use y equation from above and put it in perimeter equation:
P = 2*x + 2*(x/6 - 1)
P = 2*(7x/6 - 1)
P = 7x/3 - 2
