This is the best I got Require to make 2 equations with the same repeating part and subtract them to eliminate the repeating part.
begin by letting x = 0.5555555................. (1)
To obtain the same repeating part after the decimal point need to multiply by 10
hence 10x = 5.555555........................(2)
It is important to obtain 2 equations in x, where the recurring part after the decimal points are exactly the same.
now subtract (1) from (2) to obtain fraction
(2) - (1) : <span>9x=5⇒x=<span><span>59</span></span></span>
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
It can only become a whole number when its over .99 such as 1.00 is a whole number and 7.24 is also a hole get it
