D. The economy of the Soviet Union was falling behind that of other major industrialized nations.
Expected value of the bet is
the sum of the products of value of outcome and its probability,
less the amount paid to place the bet.
Outcomes value probability
win 225 1/4
lose 0 3/4
cost of bet = 40
So expected value of bet
E[X]=225*(1/4)+0*(3/4)-40
=56.25-40
=16.25
This means that in the long run, gambler will win, since the expected value is positive. (does NOT mean she will win in the next bet!)
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/2)(9 + 3) = (1/2)(12) = 6
So now its

but you want it in y=mx+b so
add x to both sides so that you have y on its own
so now it's
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Just use similar triangles.
12/10 = 72/x
Now solve for x.
x = 72 * 10 / 12 = 60
