In order to solve this we need to make on part of both statements equal.

Since 12 is divisible by 6 lets do that.

Multiply everything in the second package by 2.

It then becomes 6 pairs for $12.

So now  have have 6 or 8 pairs for $12.

You are getting a different amount for the same price therefore they are not proportional.

Lucy offers to play the following game with Charlie: "Let us show dimes to each other, each choosing either heads or tails. If w
Darya [45]

Answer:

(a)Charlie is right

(b)$0

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)A game is said to be a fair game when the probability of winning is equal to the probability of losing. Mathematically, a game is said to be fair when the expected value is zero.

In the game, the possible outcomes are: HH, HT, TH and TT.

Charlie wins when the outcome is HH, TT

  • P(Charlie Wins)=2/4
  • P(Charlie Losses)=2/4

Lucy wins when the outcome is HT or TH

  • P(Lucy Wins)=2/4
  • P(Lucy Losses)=2/4

Therefore, the game is fair. Charlie is right.

(b)

If the outcome is HH, Lucy pays $3.

If the outcome is HT or TH, Lucy gets $2.

If the outcome is TT, Lucy pays $1.

The probability distribution of Lucy's profit is given below:

\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}$Profit(x)&-\$3&-\$1&\$2\\P(x)&1/4&1/4&2/4\end{array}\right|

Expected Profit

=(-3 \times \frac14)+(-1\times \frac14)+(2 \times \frac24)\\=$0

Lucy's expected profit from the game is $0.
