Answer:

The expected value for your profit is -$0.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a discrete variable is calculated as:

E(x)=x_1p(x_1)+x_2p(x_2)+...+x_np(x_n)

Where, x_1, x_2 and x_n are the values that the variable can take and p(x_1), p(x_2) and p(x_n) are their respective probabilities.

So, the expected value of your income is:

E(x)=600(1/1500)+50(5/1500)+25(20/1500)+0(1474/1500)

E(x)=0.9

Because, you can win $600 with a probability of 1/1500, $50 with a probability of 5/1500, $25 with a probability of 20/1500 or $0 with a probability of 1474/1500.

Then, if you buy a ticket for $1, the expected value for your profit is:

Expected Value = Expected Income - Cost

Expected Value = $0.9 - $1

Expected Value = -$0.1

Find the length of side X
NISA [10]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the 2 other sides, that is

x² + 6² = 17²

x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{253} → C

Independent sampling are sample that are selected randomly. Observation does not depend upon value.Many analysis assume that sample are independent.

In this statement 90 dash are divides into two groups Group 1 and Group 2 . Both are standardized that mean both are randomly selected. Means are observed. Observation doesn't depend upon value.  So this style of sampling is independent Sample.
