Answer:

a) - $0.169

b) - $0.04242

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Bet amount = $4

Probability of losing $4 = \frac{258}{495}

Probability of gaining $4 = \frac{237}{495}

a) The expected value

= Winning amount × winning probability - Losing amount × Losing probability

= $4 × \frac{237}{495} - $4 × \frac{258}{495}

= $4 × \frac{237-258}{495}

= - $0.169 (Negative sign means loss)

b) The amount lost for each dollar = \frac{\textup{Expected Value}}{\textup{Bet amount}}

= \frac{\textup{-0.169}}{\$\textup{4}}

= - $0.04242

Describe what the graph of the sounds at a rock concert look like.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The graph would be similar to a Sin or Cos graph with a vertical shift. As the music gets louder the graph will go up and as the music and crowd become quieter, the graph will go down. Going up and down until the end of the concert where it will be 0.


Also side note, are you by chance in Trig 01 Summer course? If so, I am in the same class haha.

Suppose that events a and b are mutually exclusive with p(a) = ½ and p(b) = ⅓.
irina1246 [14]
No, a & b are not independent if they're mutually exclusive.

Mutually exclusive means the two events cannot occur simultaneously. So if "a" happens "b" cannot. In contrast, two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.

What conclusions can you draw from the distances that you recorded in question 7
mezya [45]

Answer:

If corresponding vertices on an image and a preimage are connected with line segments, the line segments are divided equally by the line of reflection. That is, the perpendicular distance from the line of reflection to either of the corresponding vertices is the same. Line  is a perpendicular bisector of the connecting line segments.
