Answer:

The classification of that same given problem is outlined in the following portion on the clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  E[x]=\Sigma_{x=0}^{x} \ x \ f(x)

On putting the values, we get

⇒         =0\times \frac{3}{4}+225\times \frac{1}{4}  -40\times 1

⇒         =\frac{225}{4}-40

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒         =\frac{225-160}{4}

⇒         =\frac{65}{4}

⇒         =16.25

1...

Whether she wins she would receive $225 with even a 1/4 chance, then she will lose and maybe get $0 with such a 3/4 chance although if she takes a gamble anyway though she will either have to compensate $40 wp 1.

2...

She seems to want the capital to benefit or win.

-5/3 = -1.66666...

square root of 3=1.73205080...

Solve for x. *<br> 52°<br> (6x + 2)°
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180

6x+2+52 = 180

6x+54= 180

Subtract 54 from each side

6x+54-54 = 180-54

6x= 126

Divide by 6

6x/6 =126/6

x = 21

What is the this expression in standard form?: 6(5r-4)-2(r-7s-3)
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Use distrubutive property <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

6(5r - 4) - 2(r - 7s - 3)

= (6)(5r) + (6)(-4) + (-2)(r) + (-2)(-7s) + (-2)(-3)

= 30r - 24 - 2r + 14s + 6

= (30r - 2r) + 14s + (-24 + 6)

<h3>= 28r + 14s - 18</h3>
