A game is played as follows: a die numbered 1 to 6 is rolled. If the number 1 comes up, you get nothing. If the number 2, 3, or

5 comes up, you win $4. If the number 4 or 6 comes up, you lose $6. According to the expected value, this is a fair game. True False

<h2>Steps</h2>

So before I get to the steps to solving, we should first define what a fair game is. A fair game is a game where there is equal chance of win or loss, so <u>for this to be a fair game, the expected value must be zero.</u>

Now that we defined what a fair game is, let's get to solving! Firstly, we want to get all the possibilities and multiply their outcomes with their chance. In this case the possibilities are {1,2,3,4,5,6}, all have a 1/6 chance, and {1} outcome is 0, {2,3,5} outcome is 4 and {4,6} outcome is -6:

\textsf{1:}\ 0\times \frac{1}{6}=0\\\\\textsf{2:}\ 4\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}\\\\\textsf{3:}\ 4\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}\\\\\textsf{4:}\ -6\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{6}{6}\\\\\textsf{5:}\ 4\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}\\\\\textsf{6:}\ -6\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{6}{6}

Next, take all the products and add them up:

\frac{0}{6}+\frac{4}{6}+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{6}{6}+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{6}{6}=\frac{0}{6}=0

<h2>Answer</h2>

Since the expected value is zero, <u>it is true that this is a fair game.</u>

Find the difference. express your answer in simplest form. (2s/s^2-4s+4) - (4/s^2-4s+4)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
To find the difference, we are going to destroy the parenthesis first, and then, we are going to perform the operations. Remember that to destroy a parenthesis preceded by a negative sign (-), you should change the signs of the factors inside the parenthesis:
\frac{2s}{s^2-4s+4} -( \frac{4}{s^2-4s+4} )
\frac{2s}{s^2-4s+4} -\frac{4}{s^2-4s+4}= \frac{2s-4}{s^2-4s+4}

Now we can factor both numerator and denominator and simplify:
\frac{2s-4}{s^2-4s+4} = \frac{2(s-2)}{(s-2)^2} = \frac{2}{s-2}

We can conclude that the difference in simplest form is: \frac{2}{s-2}

The function rule T(m)=450-8m represents the amount of water T(m) (in liters) in a holding tank after being drained at a rate of
suter [353]
Well they give you the equation and they want you to solve for time given that you know the amount of water in the tank.  They tell you T=274 and that

T=450-8m  so using the value T=274 in the equation to the left gives you:

274=450-8m  subtract 450 from both sides

-176=-8m  divide both sides by -8

22=m

So 22 minutes have passed when there is 274L remaining...

Here is the next one jaded :))
Ksju [112]

Answer:

x = 5.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(17) = \frac{x}{19}

=> Isolate the "x"

Sin(17) * 19 = x

5.56 = x

Hope this helps!

What is the value of "x" if 25^2 = x
olga55 [171]
The value of x would be the answer of 25^2 which means it is squared and squaring means a number times itself, so, therefore you have 25x25 which would give you the answer of 625 meaning x=625
