Despite popular belief, investigators have gotten a tip that the Loch Ness Monster is actually being kept as a pet in a Scottish

Hotel (rooms numbered -10 to 10). Four specially-trained monster hunters checked different rooms. None of them found Nessie. Through process of elimination, figure out where the Nessie must be hiding. 1) x + 4 < 3 2) x 5 > 1 3) 2x + 3 > 11 4) -3x > -9 Which room must Nessie by hiding in?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

room 3 or 4

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We assume the inequalities tell the rooms that were checked and found empty.

The solution to 3) is ...

... 2x + 3 > 11

... 2x > 8 . . . . . subtract 3

... x > 4 . . . . . . .divide by 2

The solution to 4) is ...

... -3x > -9

... x < 3 . . . . . . divide by -3

Thus, rooms greater than 4 and less than 3 were found empty. Rooms 3 and 4 were not checked, so either one could hold Nessie.

_____

The other inequalities have solutions that are already covered by the solutions to these.

1) x < -1 . . . . after subtacting 4

2) x > 5 . . . . after multiplying by 5

BlackZzzverrR [31]

v(-2) = 11,  v(0) = 7,  v(5) = -3.

hope this helps! :)

v(x) = 12 - 2x - 5\\v(-2) = 12 - 2(-2) - 5\\v(-2) = 12 + 4 - 5\\v(-2) = 11\\-----------------------------\\v(0) = 12 - 2(0) - 5\\v(0) = 12 - 0 -5\\v(0) = 7\\-----------------------------\\v(5) = 12 - 2(5) - 5\\v(5) = 12 - 10 - 5\\v(5) = -3

You are offered the following gamble based on coin flips. If the first heads occurs on the first flip, you get $2. If the first
Andrews [41]

Answer:

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity

i.e

expected value = \frac{1}{2}*2 +  \frac{1}{4}*4 +  \frac{1}{8}*8 + \frac{1}{16}*16 + ... + \to  \infty (infinty) \\

= 1+1+1+1+1 + ... = \infty

b)

When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.

What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?

These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.

Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is  very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.
