Helene claimed that the expected value when rolling a fair die was 3.5. Steve said that wasn't possible. He said that the expect

ed value was the most likely value in a single roll of the die, and since it wasn't possible for a die to turn up with a value of 3.5, the expected value couldn't possibly be 3.5. Who is right

Answer:

Helene is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the expected values is defined as the sum of all the possible outcomes that an event can have times the probality of the respective outcome:

x = ∑ p *i,

where x is the expected value, i represents every outcome that can occur, and p is the probability of said outcome.

Now, for the case of a dice, the expected value would be:

x = 1 * \frac{1}{6} + 2 * \frac{1}{6} + 3 * \frac{1}{6} + 4 * \frac{1}{6} + 5* \frac{1}{6} + 6 * \frac{1}{6},

as every outcome has the same chance of happenning. Solving we get that:

x= \frac{1}{6} *(1 +2 +3 +4+5+6) = \frac{1}{6} * 21 = 3.5

Helene is right.

How many solutions does the system have?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

A Exactly one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

\left \{ {{6x-3y=9} \atop {6x+y=9}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{6x-3y=9} \atop {-6x-y=-9}} \right\\\\Then, \\\\-4y=0\\\\\\ y=0\\\\

Putting y=0 at second equation, we have

-6x=-9\\\\x=\frac{9}{6} =\frac{3}{2}

The unique solution is (\frac{3}{2} , 0)

Solve the system of equations -x-2y=0 and -x+y=6 by combining the equations
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x=-4 and y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the second equation to make y=x+6

sub y=x+6 into the first equation

-x-2*(x+6)=0

-x-2x-12=0

-3x-12=0

3x=-12

x=-4

Now sub x=-4 into the second equation

-(-4)+y=6

y=6+4

y=10
