The following gambling game has been proposed, which a player must pay to play. First, a value U is chosen uniformly from the se

t [0, 10]. Next, a number is chosen according to a Poisson random variable with a parameter U. Letting X be the number chosen, the player receives $X. Find E[X], which is the amount a player should pay to make this a fair game HINT: Use the Law of Total Probability for Expectations, E[X]

Answer:

The player should be required to pay $5 to make this a fair game.

Step-by-step explanation:

U ~ Uniform(0, 10)

E[U] = (0 + 10)/2

         = 5

X | U ~ Poisson(U)

E[X | U] = U

By law of total probability for expectations,

E[X] = E[E[X|U]] = E[U] = $5

Therefore the player should be required to pay $5 to make this a fair game.

Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.<br> х<br> 28°<br> 42 in<br> in
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The length of the missing side x = 47.57 in    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ф = 28°

The length of the side adjacent to the angle Ф is = 42 in

To determine

The hypotenuse x = ?

Using the trigonometric ratio

cos Ф = adjacent / hypotenuse

substitute adjacent = 42 in, hypotenuse = x and Ф = 28°

cos 28° = 42 / x

x = 42 / cos 28°

x = 47.57 in      

Therefore, the length of the missing side x = 47.57 in

A manufacturer of bicycles has determined that 550 bikes per month will be sold at a price of $250. At a price of $150, it is es
iogann1982 [59]

750 bikes would be sold for $350

Let x represent the number of bikes sold per month and y represent the price.

550 bikes are sold at a price of $250, this can be represented by (550, 250). Also, 750 bikes is sold at a price of $150, hence it is represented by (750, 150)

A linear function is represented by:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

Therefore the function is:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-250=\frac{150-250}{750-550}  (x-550)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-25

The number of bikes sold for $350 is:

350 = (1/2)x - 25

x = 750

Therefore 750 bikes would be sold for $350
