Im so confused by this question but my only guess would be that since a coin is a 1/2 chance getting it heads twice is 1/2 * 1/2 which is 1/4 so the person who best they can get 2 heads in a row pays 1/4 of the bet being 5 dollars because 1/4 of 20 is 5 and the person who bets that they can't get two heads pays 15 dollars because that is 3/4 of the bet

tldr: 1/4 chance to get heads pays 1/4 of bet 5$
3/4 chance not to get heads pays 3/4 of bet 15$

Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to calculate the expected value of this game.

There are 4 equally likely outcomes:

1. heads-heads

2. heads-tails

3. tails-heads

4. tails-tails

The winnings for each outcome is:

1. heads-heads $20

2. heads-tails $0

3. tails-heads $0

4. tails-tails $0

Each outcome has a 0.25 probability of occurring.

The expected value is the sum of the products of the probability of each outcome and its winnings

expected value = 0.25 * $20 + 0.25 * $0 + 0.25 * $0 + 0.25 * $0

expected value = $5

To be a fair game, each play should cost $5.

What equals -36 when added but equals 160 when multiplied.
Irina18 [472]
X + y = -36

x * y = 160

x = -36 - y

(-36-y) * y = 160

-36y - y^2 = 160

y^2 + 36y + 160 = 0

y = -5.19  and x = -30.8

or

y = -30.8 and x = -5.19

You can write them in this form too

x+ysqrt(z)

Angelica had 8 more pairs of shoes than her mom. Together they have 30 pairs of shoes. How many pair of shoes does each one have
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Angelica 19, her mom = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Angelica has 8 more than her mother

total number of shoes = 30 pairs

The Number of pairs Angelica has = a = ?

The Number of pairs her mother has = m = ?

Process

1.- Write two equation that help to solve this problem

        a = m + 8                    Equation l

        a + m = 30                  Equation ll

2.- Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation l in equation ll

       (m + 8) + m = 30

-Solve for m

        m + 8 + m = 30

        2m = 30 - 8

        2m = 22

          m = 22/2

          m = 11

3.- Find a

          a = 11 + 8

          a = 19

4.- Conclusion

 Angelica has 19 pairs of shoes and her mom has 11
