considering playing: The game costs $2 to play. He draws a card from a deck. If he gets a number card (2-10), he wins nothing. For any face card ( jack, queen or king), he wins $3. For any ace, he wins $5, and he wins an extra $20 if he draws the ace of clubs.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of game = $5.00

If they draw a face card, they win $10.00 (i.e. they get their $5.00 back and get an extra $5.00).

Winning amount = $5

Number of face cards = 12

Probability of getting a face card =

If they draw an ace, they win $20.00 (i.e. they get their $5.00 back and get an extra $15.00).

Winning amount = $15

Number of ace = 4

Probability of getting an ace  =

Any other draw they lose their money.

Number of other card (Exclude ace and face cards) = 52-4-12=36

Probability of getting other cards  =

The expected money value playing this game is

E(x) = 5 × P(face cards) + 15 × P(Ace) - 5 × P(Other cards)

The expected money value playing this game is -$1.15

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than three times the width of the
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

<h2>width = 6 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

let l be the length of the rectangle

let w be the width of the rectangle

The statement

The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than three times the width of the

rectangle is written as

l = 6 + 3w

From the question

l = 24 feet

Substitute the value into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

24 = 6 + 3w

3w = 24 - 6

3w = 18

Divide both sides by 3

w = 6

Therefore

<h3>width = 6 feet</h3>

Hope this helps you
