Answer: - 0.28
Explanation:
1) Expected value: is the weighted average of the values, being the probabilities the weight.
That is: ∑ of prbability of event i × value of event i.
In this case: (probability of getting 2 or 12) × (+6) + (probability of gettin 3 or 11) × (+2) + (probability of any other sum) × (-1).
2) Sample space:
Sum Points awarded
1+ 1 = 2 +6
1 + 2 = 3 +2
1 + 3 = 4 -1
1 + 4 = 5 -1
1 + 5 = 6 -1
1 + 6 = 7 -1
2 + 1 = 3 +2
2 + 2 = 4 -1
2 + 3 = 5 -1
2 + 4 = 6 -1
2 + 5 = 7 -1
2 + 6 = 8 -1
3 + 1 = 4 -1
3 + 2 = 5 -1
3 + 3 = 6 -1
3 + 4 = 7 -1
3 + 5 = 8 -1
3 + 6 = 9 -1
4 + 1 = 5 -1
4 + 2 = 6 -1
4 + 3 = 7 -1
4 + 4 = 8 -1
4 + 5 = 9 -1
4 + 6 = 10 -1
5 + 1 = 6 -1
5 + 2 = 7 -1
5 + 3 = 8 -1
5 + 4 = 9 -1
5 + 5 = 10 -1
5 + 6 = 11 +2
6 + 1 = 7 -1
6 + 2 = 8 -1
6 + 3 = 9 -1
6 + 4 = 10 -1
6 + 5 = 11 +2
6 + 6 = 12 +6
2) Probabilities
From that, there is:
- 2/36 probabilities to earn + 6 points.
- 4/36 probabilites to earn + 2 points
- the rest, 30/36 probabilities to earn - 1 points
3) Expected value = (2/36)(+6) + (4/36) (+2) + (30/36) (-1) = - 0.28
Answer: x-y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The weight of the object is 3 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1:
</u>
Let object weight be x kg.
Now, as per the available data,
3/4 kg + 3/4 (x kg) = x kg
<u>Step 2:
</u>
3/4 (1 + x) = x
1 + x = 4x/3
1 = x (4/3 - 1)
x = 1 / (1/3)
x = 3
Weight of Object is 3 kg.
<u>Step 3:
</u>
Let's check if this value satisfies the first equation.
3/4 + 3/4 x 3 = 3/4 + 9/4 = 12/4 = 3
Hence proved.
440 yards x 20 = 8800 yards.
8800 yards is equal to 5 miles.
