Answer:

The expectation is -$0.2632

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of balls are: 18 red + 18 black + 2 green = 38

If the ball lands on a red number, the player wins the amount of his bet.

The bat is ball will land on a red number.

The favorable outcomes are 18/38 and unfavorable are 20/38.

Let S be possible numerical outcomes of an experiment and P(S) be the probability.

The expectation can be calculated as:

E(x) = sum of S × P(S)

For S_1 = 5

P(S_1) = \frac{18}{38}

For S_2 = -5(negative sign represents the loss)

P(S_2) = \frac{20}{38}

Now, use the above formula.

E(x) = 5\times \frac{18}{38}-5\times \frac{20}{38}

E(x) = \frac{90}{38}-\frac{100}{38}

E(x) = \frac{-10}{38}

E(x) = -0.2632

Hence, the expectation is -$0.2632

Solve the following system of equations 3x+4y=16 and -4x-3y = -19
BigorU [14]
3x + 4y = 16
-4x - 3y = -19

4( 3x + 4y = 16)
3( -4x - 3y = -19)
Distribute
12x + 16y = 64
-12x - 9y = -57
Now subtract both equations
7y = 7
/7 on both sides
y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in one of the equations.
3x + 4y = 16
3x + 4(1) = 16
-4 on both sides
3x = 12
/3 on both sides
x = 4

Answer:
x = 4
y = 1
