a-Chuck-A-Luck! Here you roll seven dice, with payoffs as follows: A grand prize of $5,000 if you roll seven of a kind $500 if you roll six of a kind $50 if you roll five of a kind What is the expected value of Super-Mega-Chuck-A-Luck?

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

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Solving for y, we add 5y to both sides and subtract 4, getting 9x-4=5y. Dividing both sides by 5, we get 9x/5-4/5=y. Since the slope is 9/5 (since 9/5*x=9x/5), we multiply it by -1 and find the reciprocal of it to get -5/9 as the perpendicular slope, so -5x/9+b=y. Plugging 1 in for x and -6 in for y, we get -5*1/9+b=-6 and by adding 5/9 to both sides we get -5-4/9=b , and since in y=mx+b y and x are variables, we end up with y=-5x/9+(-5-4/9) for slope intercept form.

To get it into standard form, we need it in ay+cx=b with a, b, and c being constants. Adding 5x/9 to both sides, we end up with y+5x/9=(-5-4/9) for standard form

Mila [183]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles,  corresponding sides are in same ratio

\frac{x+3}{3}= \frac{6}{2}\\\\ \frac{x+3}{3}=3\\\\x+3 = 3*3\\\\x+3 = 9\\\\x = 9-3\\\\x = 6
