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

A graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) is shown below.
spin [16.1K]

We are given a graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) .

We need to find the solution set of the given graph of a quadratic function .

<em>Note: Solution of a function the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis.</em>

For the shown graph, we can see that parabola in the graph doesn't cut the x-axis at any point.

It cuts only y-axis.

Because solution of a graph is only the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis. Therefore, there would not by any solution of the quadratic function y = f(x).

<h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :∅.</h3>

the map shows Henry's town . Each unit represents 1 kilometer. After school, Henry walks to the library. How far does he walk?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Henry walks 7 kilometres from school to library

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 unit = 1 Kilometre

To Find:

The distance between the library and the school

Solution:

The map below shows that  Henry has walked from

-2 coordinate in the x axis to coordinate 5  along the same x axis

So he has walked a total of 7 units

Since we know that 1 unit  = 1 Kilometre,

7 units will be

=> 7 x 1

=> 7 Kilometres
