Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 44 slots with numbers 0 , 00 , 1 ,2 ...42

Bet is placed for an odd number

Total odd numbers are = 1,3,...41 = 21

Total numbers = 44

a) Probability of winning=n(odd numbers)/total numbers

= \frac{21}{44} \\=0.4773

b) Actual odds against winning = \frac{0.4773}{1-0.4773} \\=0.9131

c) Pay off odds are 1:1.

So profit if we bet 14 dollars = 14 (0.9131) = 12.7833

d) If pay off is the same as 0.4773:0.5227=0.9131:1

Profit would be =0.9131*0.9131=\\0.8338

a square field has a side 150 m long .There is a road 5 m wide all around the park outside it .Find the cost of constructing the
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Cost to construct the road = 775000 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Square field has a side = 150 m

Area of the field = (Side)²

                           = (150)²

                           = 22500 m²

Length of the park with road around the field = 150 + 2×(width of the road)

                                                                            = 150 + (2×5)

                                                                            = 160 m

Similarly, width of the park with road around the field = 160 m

Area of the park with road = (Side)²

                                            = (160)²

                                            = 25600 m²

Area of road = Area of the park with road - Area of the park

                     = 25600 - 22500

                     = 3100 m²

Since, cost of constructing the road = 250 rupees per square meter

Cost to construct the road with the given area = 250 × 3100

                                                                              = 775000 rupees

Solve systems of three variable equations - how to do :(​
krek1111 [17]

a= 6-2b-3c

then put that equation inside the first one and then the second one

you get -6*(6-2b-3c)+2b-3c=23

and 5*(6-2b-3c)+4b-3c=-12

14b-15c=59

14b-18c=18/*(-1)

--------------------

3b=41

Explain why you must simplify 3 to the second power first
xz_007 [3.2K]
Because you have to go in the order of PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. From what you are saying, 'why you must simplify 3 to the second power first' it seems that you have no parenthesis, so you move onto what is next, which is exponents, in this case, 3 to the power of two.

Solve the equation. |x + 5| = 9 {–4, 14} {–14, 4} {4, 14} {–14, –4}
inna [77]

Answer:

{-14, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.

so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.

so,

x + 5 = 9

x = 4

and

x + 5 = -9

x = -14

that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.
