Answer:
–0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected value is found by multiplying the probabilities of each roll by the amount won or lost with each roll.
The odd rolls are 1, 3 and 5. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, and the value is 1; this gives us 1/6(1) = 1/6.
The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6, and the value is 3; this gives us 1/6(3) = 3/6.
The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6, and the value is 5; this gives us 1/6(5) = 5/6.
Rolling any even number gives us the same value. The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, and the value is -4; this gives us 3/6(-4) = -12/6.
Together we have
1/6+3/6+5/6-12/6 = 4/6+5/6-12/6 = 9/6-12/6 = -3/6 = -0.5
Answer:
=0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3= 0.33
5/6=0.83
Then: 0.33/0.83 = 0.4
You can also do 6/15 which results from (1*6)=6 and (3*5)=15
Answer:
x = -10
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
- Combine like terms: -4.5x + 72 = -7.5x + 42
- Add 7.5x on both sides: 3x + 72 = 42
- Subtract 72 on both sides: 3x = -30
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -10
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
- Simplify: 4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
- Multiply: 4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)
- Add: 4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)
- Multiply: 81 + 36 = 102 + 15
- Add: 117 = 117
Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.
∴ x = -10 is a solution of the equation.
