Answer: $6321

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value is given as exactly what you might think it means intuitively, the return you can expect for some type of action.

The basic expected value formula is the probability of an event multiplied by the amount of times the event happens:(P(x) * n).

he formula for the Expected Value for a binomial random variable is:

P(x) * X.

X is the number of trials and P(x) is the probability of success.

The formula for calculating the Expected Value where there are multiple probabilities is:

E(X) = ∑X * P(X)

The equation is basically the same, but here you are adding the sum of all the gains multiplied by their individual probabilities instead of just one probability.

Calculating the expected value of winning as follows:

Given,

Fx= e^-x, x is greater or equal to 0

Now, P less than or equal to zero =

[-e^-x] ^1

e^-0 - e^-1

= 1 - e^-1

= 0.6321

and P(x>1) = 1-0.6321= 0.3679

Therefore,Let y= amount of winnings.

Based on the above given information,

y= $10000 0

P(y)= 0.6321 0.3679

The expected value of winning:

E(y) = ΣyP(y)

E(y) = 10000 × 0.6321 + 0 × 0.3679

E(y) = $6321

Therefore, the expected value of winning is $6321

Which statements are TRUE? Select all that apply. Marisa drives 112 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes, which means her speed is 64
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Marisa drives 112 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes, which means her speed is 64 miles per hour.

Speed = Distance / Time

= 112 / 1 45/60

= 112 / 1 3/4

= 112 × 4/7

= 64 miles per hour.

TRUE

b . If 6 pens cost $7.74, then 7 pens cost $9.03.

Cost of one pen = $7.74/6 = $1.29

Cost of 7 pens = $1.29 × 7 = $9.03

TRUE

c. If Raymond drives at a speed of 57 miles per hour, then it takes him 4 hours and 10 minutes to drive 256.5 miles.

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 256.5 / 57 = 4.5 = 4 hours 30 minutes

FALSE

d. If 17 identical cans of soup cost $38.59, then 3 of the cans must cost $6.81.

Cost of one can = $38.59 / 17 = $2.27

Cost of 3 cans = $2.27 × 3 = $6.81

TRUE

e. Mr. Mayes buys two dozen eggs for $8.40, which means that he pays 70 cents per egg.

A dozen = 12

2 dozens = 12 × 2 = 24

Cost of one egg = $8.40 / 24 = 0.35 = 35 cents

FALSE

HELP What is the area of this figure?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "40 yd² " .
_____________________________________________________
First, find the area of the triangle:

The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":

A = (1/2) * b * h ; 

in which:  " A = area (in units 'squared') ;  in our case, " yd² " ; 

                 " b = base length" = 6 yd.  

                 " h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→  A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ; 
                                                                 
                                                                   =  " 24 yd² " .
___________________________________________________
Now, find the area, "A", of the square:

The formula for the area, "A" of a square:

   A = s² ;

in which:  "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;
                 
                 "s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);

 A = s²  = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² =  "16 yd² "
_________________________________________________
Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
        →  " 24 yd²  +  16 yd² " ; 

to get:  " 40 yd² " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " 40 yd² " .

Solve v^3 = -26 where v is a real number.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

nearby -3

Step-by-step explanation:

When v^3 is -26, your v is equal to -\sqrt[3]{26}.

3^3 is 27, so v is nearby 3.

or, It would be nearby 3.9

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

1:0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is a 6% sales tax, which is the same as 0.06. to calculate your tax, you would multiply both of the sides of the ratio by 75, and the left side will show you subtotal of what you are buying, the right will show tax.
