Answer:

a = 2, r = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term of a GP = a×r^(n-1)

Where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio

4th term = a×r^3 = 250

r^3 = 250/a

7th term = a×r^6 = 31250

a×r^6 = 31250

a×(r^3)^2 = 31250

a×(250/a)^2 = 31250

a×(62500/a^2) = 31250

62500/a = 31250

a = 62500/31250 = 2

a = 2

since r^3 = 250/a,

r^3 = 250/2 = 125

r = (125)^(1/3)

r = 5

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105 and the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that if ball lands on 29 players will get $140 otherwise casino will takes $4.

The probability of winning is 1/38. So, the probability of loss is 37/38.

Now, find the expected value of the game to the player as shown:

E(x)=(140)\times \frac{1}{38}+(-4)\times \frac{37}{38}

E(x)=\frac{140-148}{38}

E(x)=\frac{-8}{38}=-$0.2105

Hence, the expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105.

Now find the expect to loss if played the game 1000 times.

1000×(-$0.2105)=-$210.5

Therefore, the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.
