Consider a simple example of moral hazard. Suppose that Woodrow goes into a casino to make one bet a day. The casino is very bas

ic; it has two bets: a safe bet and a risky bet. In the safe bet, a nickel is flipped. If the nickel lands on heads, Woodrow wins $ 100 . If it lands on tails, Woodrow loses $ 100 . The risky bet is similar: a silver dollar is flipped. If the silver dollar lands on heads, Woodrow wins $ 5,000 . If it lands on tails, Woodrow loses $ 10,000 . Each coin has a 50 % chance of landing on each side. What is the expected value of the safe bet?

Answer:

The expected value of the safe bet equal $0

Step-by-step explanation:

If  

S=\left\{s_1,s_2,...,s_n\right\}

is a finite numeric sample space and

P(X=s_k)=p_k for k=1, 2,..., n

is its probability distribution, then the expected value of the distribution is defined as

E(X)=s_1P(X=s_1)+s_2P(X=s_2)+...+s_nP(X=s_n)X)

What is the expected value of the safe bet?

In the safe bet we have only two possible outcomes: head or tail. Woodrow wins $100 with head and “wins” $-100 with tail So the sample space of incomes in one bet is

S = {100,-100}

Since the coin is supposed to be fair,  

P(X=100)=0.5

P(X=-100)=0.5

and the expected value is

E(X) = 100*0.5 - 100*0.5 = 0

Answer: here is an example in the screenshot

it is A,B,C, or D

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given perimeter, the area will be maximized when all the sides are the same length, which makes it actually a square. A square is still a rectangle, though! So, if you know the perimeter, divide it by four to determine the length of each side. Then multiply the length times the width to get the area.

What are the last three terms of the binomial expansion 32x³ + 80x'y + 80x³y² +
Gnesinka [82]

The last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵

<h3>Binomial expansion</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the last three terms of the binomial expansion 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + __ + __ + __

The highest power of the expansion is 5

Using the binomial expansion theorem

(m +n)⁵ = m⁵ + 5m⁴n + 10m³n² + 10m²n³ + 5mn⁴ + n⁵

Now, we will determine the values of m and n by comparison

By comparison,

m⁵ = 32x⁵

m⁵ = (2x)⁵

∴ m = 2x

Also,

5m⁴n = 80x⁴y

Divide both sides by 5, to get

m⁴n = 16x⁴y

Put m = 2x into the equation

(2x)⁴n = 16x⁴y

16x⁴n = 16x⁴y

∴ n = y

Thus, the expression being expanded is (2x + y)⁵

By binomial expansion, the expansion of (2x + y)⁵  is

(2x + y)⁵ = (2x)⁵ + 5(2x)⁴y + 10(2x)³(y)² + 10(2x)²(y)³ + 5(2x)(y)⁴ + y⁵

(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + (5×16)x⁴y + (10×8)x³(y)² + (10×4)x²(y)³ + (5×2)x(y)⁴ + y⁵

(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵

Hence, the last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵
