Suppose you open a new game at the county fair. When patrons win, you pay them $3.00; when patrons lose, they pay you $1.00. If

the probability of a patron winning is p = .20, then how much can you expect to win (or lose) in the long run? Hint: You need to compute the expected value of the mean.A) win 0.20 cents per playB) win 0.60 cents per playC) lose 0.80 cents per playD) lose 2.20 dollars per play

Answer:

E(X) = 1 *0.8 - 3*0.2 = 0.2

so at the long run we can conclude that the best option is :

A) win 0.20 cents per play

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable who represent the ampunt of money win/loss at the game defined.

The probability of loss $3.00 for this game is 0.2 and the probability of win is 1-0.2=0.8 and you will recieve $1.00 if you win. The expected value is given by:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And for this case if we replace we got:

E(X) = 1 *0.8 - 3*0.2 = 0.2

so at the long run we can conclude that the best option is :

A) win 0.20 cents per play

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 110. Find the integers.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

26, 27, 28, 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer be x.

Then, (x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3) = 110

=> x+x+1+x+2+x+3 = 110

=> 4x+6 = 110

=> 4x = 110-6

=> 4x = 104

=> x = 104/4

=> x = 26

So, the four consecutive integers are:

1. x = 26

2. x+1 = 26+1 = 27

3. x+2 = 26+2 = 28

4. x+3 = 26+3 = 29

What is the value of r in: 1/7(105+r)=20
stealth61 [152]
Use the distributive property.

1/7(105 + r) = 20
15 + (1/7)r = 20

Then subtract each side of the equation by 15.

15 + (1/7)r = 20
(1/7)r = 5

Divide both sides by 1/7.

(1/7)r = 5

r = 35

So, the answer to this question is r is equal to 35.

A quantity b varies jointly with c and d and inversely with eWhen b is 18, c is 4, d is 9, and e is 6What is the constant of var
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

constant of variation = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that b varies jointly with c and d

so:

b∝c∝d

and b varies inversely with e, so

b∝\frac{1}{e}

and i will call the constant of variation k, this way we can make an equation for b in the following form:

b=k\frac{cd}{e}

this satisfy that b varies jointly with c and d (if b increases, c and d also increase) and inversely with e (if b increases, e decreases)

we know that when b is 18, c is 4, d is 9, and e is 6:

b=18\\c=4\\d=9\\e=6

substituting this in our equation for b:

b=k\frac{cd}{e}\\ 18=k\frac{(4)(9)}{6}

and we solve operations and clear for the constant of variation k:

18=k\frac{36}{6}\\ 18=6k\\\frac{18}{6}=k\\ 3=k

the constant of variation is 3.
