Answer:

Expected value of the game: -$0.421

Expected loss in 1000 games: $421

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible outcomes for the event:

- There is a 1 in 38 chance of winning $280

- There is a 37 in 38 chance of losing $8

The expected value for a single game is:

E(X) = \frac{1}{38}*\$280-\frac{37}{38}*\$8\\E(X)=-\$0.421

The expected value of the game is -$0.421

In 1,000 plays, the expected loss is:

L = 1,000*-\$0.421\\L=-\$421

You would expect to lose $421.

Round 3.5679 to the nearest tenth.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

After the decimal point to the right, the first number is the 'tenths' spot. That number is the one they're asking you to round. As we know, when rounding,  the number is rounded up if it is 5 or more. Since the number in the 'hundreths' spot is above 5, the 'tenths' spot is rounded up, making 5 a 6.

So, the answer is 3.6
