After taking TINFO 240, Christopher of the Soprano crime family is excited to tell Tony about a new gambling game he has created

that will generate funds for the family. The ules are a player draws one card from a standard 52-card deck of playing cards. If the player picks a heart, the player will win $10. If the player picks a face card that is not a heart (King Queen Jack), the player wins $8. Picking a face card heart counts the same as picking a heart. If a player picks any other card, they lose $6. Tony listens and then tell Christopher he is an idiot again. Who is right, is this game a money maker for the Sopranos? Explain.

Answer:

The game is not a money maker for the Sopranos.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate whether or not a betting game is good in the long run, we use expected value (which is a measure of  what the outcome of the game is on average). When playing the game there are 3 outcomes for the player: Either the player wins $10, wins $8, or loses $6.

Expected value of playing the game for the player is computed by adding each of those outcomes, but each multiplied by how likely it is to happen (a weighted sum).

The player wins $10 if he/she picks a heart from a standard deck of cards. There are 13 hearts in the deck, so the probability of doing so is 13/52.

The player wins $8 if he/she picks a face card which is not a heart from the deck. There are 12 total face cards, and excluding the heart ones, there are 9. So the probability of doing so is 9/52.

The player loses $6 if he/she picks any other card, which is picking any other card besides hearts, and face cards. There are 30 other cards besides hearts and face cards, so the probability of doing so is 30/52.

Therefore the expected value of playing the game for the player is

E[ playing the game ] = 10\cdot \frac{13}{52}+8\cdot \frac{9}{52}-6\cdot \frac{30}{52}=0.423

Which means on average the player is expected to win $0.423 per game. Which means the game is not a money maker for the Sopranos.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

121 x 59 (Dimensions)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 6 = 360

Take away 6 from both sides

6x = 354

Divide both sides by 6

x = 59

The length is 2x + 3 because it says 3 more than double the width (lenght is x). You have 2 widths and 2 lengths. The two widths are both x (2x). The two lengths are both 2x + 3 (4x + 6). 2x + 4x + 6 = 6x + 6.

Now input 59 for x

2(59) + 3 = 121

x = 59

Check Your Answer

121 is just one length and 59 is just one width, so you have to multiply both sides by 2 because you have 2 widths and 2 lengths.

121 x 2 = 242

59 x 2 = 118

242 + 118 = 360
