Answer:

Nephew receive 1500.00

Older niece receive 1000.00

Younger niece receive 500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume a variable x,y,z for the niece, older niece and the nephew respectively.

Y= 2x (Twice the younger niece)

Z= x + y. (Sum of the two nieces)

Since y = 2x

Z = x+2x

Z= 3x

Therefore:

X = 1x

Y = 2x

Z = 3x

So the will will be shared among them in the ratio

Nephew : older niece : younger niece

3 : 2 : 1

Nephew. 3/6 x 3000 = 1500.00

Older niece 2/6 x 3000 = 1000.00

Younger niece 1/6 x 3000 = 500.00

Kayla is a basketball player who makes 50 of her 2 point shots and 20 of her 3 point shots find Kayla expected value for a 2 poi
Mumz [18]

Kayla's expected value for a 2- point shot is 1 point.

What is expected value?

The expected value, also known as expectation, expectancy, arithmetical expectation, mean, average, first or moment, is a generalization of the weighted average in the field of probability theory. Informally, the estimation is the arithmetic mean of a significant number of values of a random variable that were independently chosen. A weighted average of all potential outcomes constitutes the expected value of the a random variable with such a finite number of outcomes. When there is a continuum of potential outcomes, integration defines the expectation. The expectation is provided by Lebesgue integration in the measure theory-based axiomatic foundation for probability.

Sol- The expected value is calcuated using the formula:

EV= x.P(x)

where x is the weight/value of the event, and P(x) is the probability of the event occurring.

For a 2-point shot, we have:

X=2

P(x) = 50/100 = 0.5

There for the expected value will be -

EV = 2×0.5 = 1

Thus,

The expected value will be 1 point.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

With Riley's pattern, he will practice 2,000 total minutes in 25 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Riley increased his practice time by 20, 20 times 40 is 80 minutes. And since he is repeating this in total of 25 days, 80 times 25 is 2,000.

Hope this helped you in some way. If not, then let me know.
