<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.

The quarterback of a football team releases a pass at a height of 6 feet above the playing field, and the football is caught by
motikmotik

Answer:

t = 25.1seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

X(t)= 16cos75°t

Y(t)= 6 + (Vosin75°t - 16t^2)

Converting 78 yards to feet :

1 yard = 3 feet

78feet =?

78×3=234 feet

Y(t)= number of feet above the ground at t seconds

VoCos75° t = 234

t = 234/(VoCos75°)

At this time,4 = y(234/VoCos75°)

4 = 6 + VoSin75°(234/VoCos75) - 16(234/VoCos75°)^2

Vo= 140.66ft/s

Time,t= 234/(140.66× Cos75°)

t = 25.087seconds

t= 25.1 seconds (1 decimal place)

A professor finds that the average SAT score among all students attending his college is 1150 ± 150 (μ ± σ). He polls his class
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Hello!

Be X: SAT scores of students attending college.

The population mean is μ= 1150 and the standard deviation σ= 150

The teacher takes a sample of 25 students of his class, the resulting sample mean is 1200.

If the professor wants to test if the average SAT score is, as reported, 1150, the statistic hypotheses are:

H₀: μ = 1150

H₁: μ ≠ 1150

α: 0.05

Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~~N(0;1)

Z_{H_0}= \frac{1200-1150}{\frac{150}{\sqrt{25} } } = 1.67

The p-value for this test is  0.0949

Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. Then using a significance level of 5%, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average SAT score of the college students is not 1150.

I hope it helps!

For part A the choices are 25 and 34 and for part b it is 2 and 10
diamong [38]

Answer:

Part A is 34

Part B is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question did provide some clues to answer this question. Every week, the area covered by the algae is multiplied by 2^1.

To find the area cover increase by the algae per day, the exponent should be divided by 7 since there are 7 days in a week. Hence, every day, the area covered by the algae multiplies by 2^(1/7). In other words, 1 day after the algae was spotted, the area is 12.5 * 2^(1/7), which answers part B.

10 days after the algae was spotted, the area covered by the algae is 12.5 * 2^[(1/7)*10] = 33.6475... , which rounds up to 34 and answers part A.

The shape on the left is translated to the shape on the right.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation means moving so when saying Translate to the right your really moving it to the right. The questions says The shape on left is the original and the right is translated which means the left is the pre-image while right is the image. A is the only answer that doesn’t say the right is the pre image. Also, “ ‘ “ is used to distinguish the pre image coordinates vs the image coords so it easier.
