A manufacturer plans on building a better mousetrap. There is a 60% chance the mouse trap will produce a profit of $200,000 for

the company, a 20% chance of a $100,000 profit, and a 20% chance the company will lose $200,000.
Based on this information, should the company build the mousetrap?
A) The expected value is $70,000, so the company should build the mousetrap.
B) The expected value is $85,000, so the company should build the mousetrap.
C) The expected value is $100,000, so the company should build the mousetrap.
D) The expected value is -$70,000, so the company should not build the mousetrap.

Expected value E(x) = 0.6(200,000) + 0.2(100,000) - 0.2(200,000) = 120,000 + 20,000 - 40,000 = 100,000

Therefore, the expected value is $100,000, so the company should build the mousetrap.

3.18x+2.6+0.9x+x=28<br> Solve please, brainliest will be awarded
Elis [28]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation

3.18x+2.6+0.9x+x=28

3.18x+0.9x+x+2.6=28

5.08x+2.6=28

5.08x+2.6-2.6=28-2.6

5.08x=25.4

x=5

hope it helps

If mRS=x then write an equation that could be used to solve for x and find the value of x
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) x = 30°

b) mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

Question:

The complete question as found on Chegg website:

In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs

intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:

mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3

(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x

and find the value of x.

(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.

mRS =

mST =

MTU

MUR =

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the diagram related to the question

mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3

Since mRS = x

Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:

mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x

mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x

The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)

mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°

x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30°

b) The measure of angle

mRS = x = 30°

mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°

mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°

Please tell me the answer quick

To compare these numbers, you must first put them into one format.  Since you have mixed numbers, you may have to find and use the LCD.

-2.5, 1/5, 10, -12/4, 18/5, 10 could be simplified somewhat immediately:

-2.5, 1/5, 10, -3, (3 3/5)   This set of numbers is simple enough so that you could rearrange them in ascending order mentally:

-3, -2.5, 1/5, (3 3/5), 10

In this case the number of elements in this set is odd, so all you have to do is to select the MIDDLE element:  1/5.

The median is 1/5.

You MUST learn this procedure (arranging the set elements in ascending order and selecting the middle element) so that you can apply it yourself.

find the point on the terminal side of θ = negative three pi divided by four that has an x coordinate of negative 1
Mila [183]
Check the picture below, is a negative angle, thus, is going "clockwise"

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad tan\left( -\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies  tan\left( -\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)=\cfrac{y}{-1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-1\cdot  tan\left( -\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)=y\implies -1\cdot \cfrac{sin\left( -\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)}{cos\left( -\frac{3\pi }{4} \right)}=y&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-1\cdot \cfrac{-1}{-1}=y\implies -1
