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!)

Which answer represents the domain of the logarithmic function given below? F(x) = log8x
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C. x>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x)=log(8x)

To find the domain of a logarithmic function, we need to take the argument, 8x, and set it greater to zero. This is because an argument of a logarithmic function cannot be zero or negative.

8x>0

x>0

So since x is greater than zero, we have just found out our domain:
