Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

The player has a 1/4 chance of drawing any of the 4 prizes. This means that the probability of drawing a prize of $4 is 1/2 because there are 2 prizes worth of $4. The probability of drawing a prize of $20 is 1/4 and the probability of drawing a prize of $200 is also 1/4. To find the fair price of the game, we have to calculate the expected value that the player will gain. This can be obtained by multiplying any possible value of a price for the probability of drawing a prize of that value and adding all the obtained values togueter. Thus, the fair price of the game is

4 * \frac{1}{2} + 20 * \frac{1}{4} + 200 * \frac{1}{4} = 57

Murljashka [212]

Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches

d = 103/12 inches

n = 3 weeks

the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,

T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12

T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6

T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches
