Answer:

The expected value of the winnings for a single-ticket purchase is -$1.0016.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tickets sold is, <em>N</em> = 1250.

Cost of one ticket is, $4.

Let <em>X</em> = amount of prize.

The prize distribution is as follows:

1 Grand price = $3000

1 Second prize = $450

10 Third prize = $25

The expected value <em>X</em> can be computed using the formula:

E(X)=\sum x.P(X)

Compute the probability distribution of <em>X</em> as follows:

     Prize        Amount (X)         P (X)                    x · P (X)

1 Grand prize    $3000         \frac{1}{1250}=0.0008     \$3000\times 0.0008=2.4

1 Second prize  $450          \frac{1}{1249}=0.0008      \$450\times 0.0008=0.36

10 Third prize      $25          \frac{10}{1248}=0.008        \$25\times 0.008=0.2

No prize             -$4      1-\sum P(Win)\\=0.9904   -\$4\times 0.9904=-3.9616

TOTAL                              1.0000                            -1.0016

Thus, the expected value of the winnings for a single-ticket purchase is -$1.0016.

Answer:

<em>y = - cos ( </em>\frac{3}{4}<em> x + </em>\frac{\pi }{4}<em> ) </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = A cos ( Bx + C) + D

Vertical shift D = 0

A = - 1

Compression / Stretching B

Period of given function is \frac{8\pi }{3}

Period of cos x is 2π

\frac{8\pi }{3} = \frac{2\pi }{B} ⇒ B = \frac{3}{4}

Horizontal shift is C ÷ B

Horizontal shift of given function is \frac{\pi }{3}

\frac{\pi }{3} = C ÷ \frac{3}{4} ⇒ C = \frac{\pi }{4}

So, the equation of given function is

<em>y = - cos ( </em>\frac{3}{4}<em> x + </em>\frac{\pi }{4}<em> ) </em>

Solve the equation 2/3-4x+7/2=-9x+5/6
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

<u>For this equation the value of x is - 2/3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Resolving the equation 2/3-4x+7/2=-9x+5/6

-4x + 9x = 5/6 - 2/3 - 7/2 (Putting the all the x values on the left)

5x = (5/6 - 4/6 -21/6)

5x = -20/6

x = - 20/6 /5 (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

x = -20/6 * 1/5

<u>x = -4/6 = - 2/3 (Simplifying)</u>

2. Proof of replacing x by -2/3

2/3 - 4 (-2/3) + 7/2 = -9 (-2/3) + 5/6

2/3 + 8/3 + 7/2 = 18/3 + 5/6

10/3 + 7/2 = 6 + 5/6

20 + 21 = 36 + 5 (Multiplying by 6 at both sides)

41 = 41

<u>It means the value of -2/3 for x is correct</u>

Answer:

  8x +36 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions can be made to disappear by multiplying the equation by their least common denominator. That number is 18.

  18(4/9x +2) = 18(5/6)

  8x +36 = 15

__

The solution is x = -21/8.

Solve the system of equations
Brums [2.3K]
5x+4y = 73
-4x + 4y = -8

5x + 4y -(-4x+4y) = 73 -(-8)
5x + 4y + 4x - 4y = 81
5x + 4x + 4y - 4y = 81
9x = 81
x = 81÷9
x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into any of the equations to find y.

5(9) + 4y = 73
45 + 4y = 73
4y = 73 - 45
4y = 28
y = 28÷4
y=7

Answers :
x = 9
y = 7
