Answer: smaller: 18 ; larger: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the smaller integer. Then the larger integer is n+2. So:

2n=n+2+16

n=18

The smaller integer is 18; the larger one is 20.

There is a game at the carnival that costs $20 to play. There are two outcomes: either you win $100 , or you lose. To play you r

Taya2010 [7]

Outcome on winning = $100 - $20 = $80
Outcome on losing = $20

Probability of winning = 1/6
Probability of losing = 5/6

Expected Value = 1/6 (80) +5/6(-20) = -3.333

This shows on average from each game, the game earns $ 3.333.

So, if 1000 such games are played, the game will earn 1000 x 3.33 = $3330

So, the answer to this question is option A
