Answer:

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the dried mushrooms = mushrooms *  percentage of weight kept

percentage of weight kept = 1- 80% = 20 %

We want 1 kg of dried mushrooms.   Substitute in what we know

1 kg = mushrooms * 20%

1 kg  = mushrooms * .2

Divide  each side by .2

1 /.2 = mushroom *.2 /.2

5 kg = mushrooms

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

When playing roulette at a​ casino, a gambler is trying to decide whether to bet $5 on the number 25 or to bet $5 that the outco
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) -$3.03; b) The $5 on the number 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expected value, multiply each probability by its value and then add them together.

The probability of making a profit of $20 is 3/38; this gives us

3/38(20) = 60/38

The probability of losing $5 is 35/38; this gives us

35/38(-5) = -175/38

Together, this gives us

60/38-175/38 = -115/38 ≈ $-3.03

b) Since the expected value for the $5 bet on a single number is $-0.53, and the expected value for the $5 on either 00, 0 or 1 is $-3.03, the better bet is on the number 25.  The expected value loses less money with this option.
