Expected value of the bet is
the sum of the products of value of outcome and its probability,
less the amount paid to place the bet.

Outcomes value probability
win            225    1/4
lose               0    3/4
cost of bet = 40

So expected value of bet
E[X]=225*(1/4)+0*(3/4)-40
=56.25-40
=16.25

This means that in the long run, gambler will win, since the expected value is positive.  (does NOT mean she will win in the next bet!)

You seem to have gotten m∠2. Remember that ∠1 and ∠2 are alternate interior angles, meaning they're both equal. Since they gave you m∠1 as being 26°, you now know the measure of ∠2.

As for m∠3 and m∠4, If you look at ∠3 you'll see that it is complementary to ∠1 (They both add up to 90°), so if you subtract m∠1 from 90° you'll have found m∠3. You find m∠4 the same way.

Hope this helped.

algol [13]

Answer:

Anita's monthly bill will be $164.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Anita has a cellphone contract that costs her R100 per month plus 85 cents per peak time SMS, and 25 cents per off-peak time SMS, if she sends 45 SMSs during peak time and 105 SMSs during off-peak time In a month To determine what will her monthly bill come to, the following calculation must be performed:

100 + (0.85 x 45) + (0.25 x 105) = X

100 + 38.25 + 26.25 = X

138.25 + 26.25 = X

164.25 = X

Therefore, her monthly bill will be $ 164.25.
