The correct answer is:

They had no placeholding zero.

Explanation:

Our numbering system is one of few known to have a numeral for zero. Mayans did; however, theirs never traveled the world. Babylonians were thought to have a mark for nothing, but it was more for punctuation than numerals. Neither the Romans nor the Egyptians had a number for 0 either.

Zero is key to our system of numbering, as it helps us hold place as well as representing nothing. Without it, it is easier to represent problems in words.

You roll 2 dice. If the sum of the dice is: 2, 3, 4 you win $20. If the sum is 5, 6, 7, 8 you win $10. If the sum is 9, 10, 11 y

Answer:

1) The expected value of the "winnings" is $(-0.97 $\overline 2$ )

2) The variance for the "winnings" is $0.57966

3) The standard deviation for the "winnings" is$0.761354

4) The game is not a fair game because one is expected to lose $0.97 $\overline 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The probability of having a sum of 2 = 1/6×1/6 = 1/36

The probability of having a sum of 3 = 1/6×1/6 = 1/36

The probability of having a sum of 4 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/18

The probability of having a sum of 5 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/18

The probability of having a sum of 6 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/12

The probability of having a sum of 7 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/12

The probability of having a sum of 8 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/12

The probability of having a sum of 9 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/18

The probability of having a sum of 10 = 1/6×1/6 + 1/6×1/6 = 1/18

The probability of having a sum of 11 = 1/6×1/6 = 1/36

The probability of having a sum of 12 = 1/6×1/6 = 1/36

The values are;

For 2, we have 1/36 × (20 - 5) = 0.41 $\overline 6$

For 3, we have 1/36 × (20 - 5) = 0.41 $\overline 6$

For 4, we have 1/18 × (20 - 5) = 0.8 $\overline 3$

For 5, we have 1/18 × (10 - 5) = 0.2 $\overline 7$

For 6, we have 1/12 × (10 - 5) = 0.41 $\overline 6$

For 7, we have 1/12 × (10 - 5) = 0.41 $\overline 6$

For 8, we have 1/12 × (10 - 5) = 0.41 $\overline 6$

For 9, we have 1/18 × (-20 - 5) = -1.3 $\overline 8$

For 10, we have 1/18 × (-20 - 5) = -1.3 $\overline 8$

For 11, we have 1/36 × (-20 - 5) = -0.69 $\overline 4$

For 12, we have 1/36 × (-25 - 5) = -0.69 $\overline 4$

The expected value of the winnings is given as follows;

0.41 $\overline 6$ + 0.41 $\overline 6$ + 0.8 $\overline 3$ + 0.8 $\overline 3$ + 0.8 $\overline 3$ + 0.41 $\overline 6$ + 0.41 $\overline 6$ + -1.3 $\overline 8$ -1.3 - 0.69 $\overline 4$ - 0.69 $\overline 4$ = -0.97 $\overline 2$

Therefore, the expected value = $-0.97 $\overline 2$ , which is one is expected to lose $0.97 $\overline 2$

2) Using Microsoft Excel, we have;

The variance for the "winnings", σ² = $0.57966

3) The standard deviation for the "winnings" = √σ² = √(0.57966) ≈ $0.761354

4) The game is not a fair game because one is expected to lose $0.97 $\overline 2$
