Answer: The expected value of this game is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Give that
If it's black, you lose a point. If it's red, you gain a point.
And then you can stop at any time. But you should never stop when you are losing because that can guarantee 0 by drawing all the cards.
Assuming you should stop after three cards when you are +2.
The only question is whether to draw if you are +1 on the first draw.
If you draw red first, You have 1/3 chance of drawing red again and this will give you +2 points
1/3 chance of drawing two blacks and earn zero point, chance of drawing black-red and earn +1. This gives +1, so it doesn't matter whether you draw or not.
From the beginning, If you draw red (probability 1/2 you end +1. If you draw black and then draw two reds (probability 1/6 you end +1) Otherwise you break even with probability 1/3. Overall, the value is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive formula to solve for n:
-a(b + c) = -ab - ac
So, to solve this you would have to use the distributive property:
-1/3n - 5 = -2
Add 5 to both sides
-1/3n - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5
-1/3n = 3
Now, multiply -3 from both sides
-1/3 * -3 n = 3 * -3
Simplify
n = -9
Hope that helped!!

Answer: 4.8 ft
To answer this question you need to know how much shadow: actual height ratio. Flagpole is having 8 ft shadow with 20 ft actual height. The ratio should be= 8 ft: 20 ft= 0.4
Then multiply the ratio with the oak tree shadow. The equation would be:
0.4 x 12 ft= 4.8 ft
Answer:
24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the function
, which has derivative
.
The linear approximation of
for some value
within a neighborhood of
is given by
Let
. Then
can be estimated to be
![\sqrt[3]{63.97}\approx4-\dfrac{0.03}{48}=3.999375](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.97%7D%5Capprox4-%5Cdfrac%7B0.03%7D%7B48%7D%3D3.999375)
Since
for
, it follows that
must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function
. This means the estimated value is an overestimation.
Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...
