Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
y intercept: when x = 0
5(0) + 3y = 15
3y = 15, y = 5
The y intercept is 5
A + E + N = 122
E = 2N
A = 7 + E....A = 7 + 2N
(7 + 2N) + 2N + N = 122
5N + 7 = 122
5N = 122 - 7
5N = 115
N = 115/5
N = 23 <== North America
E = 2N
E = 2(23)
E = 46 <== Europe
A = 7 + E
A = 7 + 46
A = 53 <=== Africa
The expected value per game is -0.26. Over 1000 games, you can expect to lose $263.16.
To find the expected value, we multiply the probability of winning by the amount of winnings, the probability of losing by the amount of loss, and adding those together.
We have a 1/38 chance of winning; 1/38(175) = $4.61. We also have a 37/38 chance of losing; 37/38(5) = $4.87.
$4.61-$4.87 = -$0.26 (rounded)
To five decimal places, our answer is -0.26136; multiplied by 1000 games, this is $261.36 lost.
