Answer:

The expected value is $0.035

Step-by-step explanation:

expected of outcome for each dice = 1,

each dice has 6 sides ⇒ total number of possible outcome per dice = 6

seven of a kind = $5,000, six of a kind = $500, five of a kind = $50

Probability = (expected outcome ÷ total number of possible outcome) ^ number of dice

Pr = (\frac{E)}{T}^{n}

seven of a kind ⇒ all 7 dice have the same number

Pr (seven of a kind) = (\frac{1}{6})^{7} = 0.00000357

six of a kind ⇒ all 6 dice have the same number

Pr (six of a kind) = (\frac{1}{6})^{6} = 0.0000214

five of a kind ⇒ all 5 dice have the same number

Pr (five of a kind) = (\frac{1}{6})^{5} = 0.000129

EV = ∑P(X_{i}) *

EV = 5,000 * 0.00000357 + 500 * 0.0000214 + 50 * 0.000129

EV = 0.01785 + 0.0107 + 0.00645

EV = $0.035

The chances of winning is less than 1%. This is a very bad risk to take, do not let the carnival operators siphon the money in your wallet

The amount of light passing through each foot the water in the lake = 100% - 60% = 40%
The percent of light passing through 5 feet of water = 0.4^5 = 0.01024 = 1.02%

Make sure to show your work. Please dont answer if you dont know. There are two attachments.
castortr0y [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1

180° = x + 70° + 55° + 30°

180° = x + 155°

x = 180° - 155°

x = 25°

Number 2

x° = 93°

y° = 47°

z° = 180° - 47° - 93°

z° = 180° - 140°

z° = 40°
