A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on four numbers pays 8 to 1 (that is, if you bet $1 and one of t

he four numbers you bet comes up, you get back your $1 plus another $8). How much do you expect to win with a $1 bet on four numbers? HINT [See Example 4.] (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answer:

Lose $0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 38 possible spots on the roulette wheel (numbers 1 to 36, 0 and 00).

If the player can choose four numbers on single $1 bet, his chances of winning (W) and losing (L) are as follows:

P(W) = \frac{4}{38} \\P(L) = 1-P(W) = 1-\frac{4}{38} \\P(L) = \frac{34}{38}

The expected value of the bet is given by the probability of winning multiplied by the payout ($8), minus the probability of losing multiplied by the bet cost ($1)

EV=\frac{4}{38}*\$8 -\frac{34}{38}*\$1\\EV= -\$0.05

On each bet, the player is expected to lose 5 cents ($0.05).

zvonat [6]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Totally there are 50 tosses.  

Let the number of tosses which resulted head be x.  

Therefore the number of tosses which resulted tail is 50−x.

We get x×1+(50−x)×(−1)=14

x−(50−x)=14

x−50+x=14

x=32

A rectangle has perimeter 28cm. Its area is 42sq.cm. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle. Include a diagram in your soluti
yawa3891 [41]

The dimensions of the rectangle are: b=9.65 cm and h=4.35 cm or b=4.35 cm and h= 9.65 cm.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle is equal to base x height (A=bh). The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2b+2h.

<h3>System of Linear Equations</h3>

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

Perimeter=28cm

Area= 42 cm²

If the perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, you have:

Perimeter= 2b+2h=28

If the area of the rectangle is 42cm², you have:

Area=bh=42 cm²

You can write a system of linear equations.

2b+2h=28 (1)

bh=42 (2)

From equation 2, you have  b=\frac{42}{h}. Then, you can replace it in equation 1.

2*\frac{42}{h}+2h=28 \\ \\ 84+2h^2=28h\\ \\ 2h^2-28h+84=0 \; dividing\; by\; 2\\ \\ h^2-14h+42=0

Now, you should solve the quadratic equation.

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-14\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:42}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_1=\frac{-\left(-14\right)+2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7+\sqrt{7}=9.65 cm

h_2=\frac{-\left(-14\right)-2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7-\sqrt{7}=4.35cm

If h1=9.65 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{9.65} =4.35 cm, and if  h2=4.35 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{4.35} =9.65 cm.
