Sandra swims the 100-meter freestyle for her school’s swim team. Her state’s ranking system awards 3 points for first place, 2 p

oints for second, 1 point for third, and 0 points if she does not place. Her coach used her statistics from last season to design a simulation using a random number generator to predict how many points she would receive in her first race this season.
What is Sandra’s expected value of points awarded for a race?

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The total frequency is:

20 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 40

Calculate the probability of each score:

P(X=3) = 20/40 = 0.50

P(X=2) = 12/40 = 0.30

P(X=1) = 6/40 = 0.15

P(X=0) = 2/40 = 0.05

So the expected value is:

E = (3)(0.50) + (2)(0.30) + (1)(0.15) + (0)(0.05)

E = 2.25

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION 11. Subtract the sum of 13x – 4y + 7z and – 6z + 6x + 3y from the sum of 6x – 4y – 4z and 2x + 4y – 7. 12.
Naily [24]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(11)

Subtract the sum of (13x - 4y + 7z) and (- 6z + 6x + 3y) from the sum of (6x - 4y - 4z) and (2x + 4y - 7z).

[(6x - 4y - 4z) +(2x + 4y - 7z)]-[(13x - 4y + 7z) + (- 6z + 6x + 3y) ]\\=[6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z]-[13x-4y+7z-6z+6x+3y]\\=6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z-13x+4y-7z+6z-6x-3y\\=(6x+2x-13x-6x)+(4y-4y+4y-3y)-(4z+7z+7z-6z)\\=-11x+y-12z

Thus, the final expression is (-11x + y - 12z).

(12)

From the sum of (x² + 3y² - 6xy), (2x² - y² + 8xy), (y² + 8) and (x² - 3xy) subtract (-3x² + 4y² - xy + x - y + 3).

[(x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy)+(2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy)+(y^{2} + 8)+(x^{2} - 3xy)] - [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy+2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy+y^{2} + 8+x^{2} - 3xy]- [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8]-[-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8+3x^{2}-4y^{2}+xy-x+y-3\\=7x^{2}-y^{2}-x+y+5

Thus, the final expression is (7x² - y² - x + y + 5).

(13)

What should be subtracted from (x² – xy + y² – x + y + 3) to obtain (-x²+ 3y²- 4xy + 1)?

A=(x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3) - (-x^{2}+ 3y^{2}- 4xy + 1)\\=x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3 +x^{2}- 3y^{2}+ 4xy -1\\=2x^{2}-2y^{2}+3xy-x+y+2

Thus, the expression is (2x² - 2y² + 3xy - x + y + 2).

(14)

What should be added to (xy – 3yz + 4zx) to get (4xy – 3zx + 4yz + 7)?

A=(4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7)-(xy - 3yz + 4zx) \\=4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7 -xy + 3yz - 4zx\\=3xy-7zx+7yz+7

Thus, the expression is (3xy - 7zx + 7yz + 7).

(15)

How much is (x² − 2xy + 3y²) less than (2x² − 3y² + xy)?

A=(2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy)-(x^{2} - 2xy + 3y^{2})\\=2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy-x^{2} + 2xy - 3y^{2}\\=x^{2}-6y^{2}+3xy

Thus, the expression is (x² - 6y² + 3xy).

Marco thinks the total number of runs a team scores in a season is a better indicator of how many wins it will have in that seas
FrozenT [24]
This is a fair assumption, but not true in every instance. Since home runs do not indicate how many runs score, which are the decider in a win or a loss, they are less accurate at predicting.
