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!)

Reading proficiency: An educator wants to construct a 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school children
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

A sample size of 345 is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the interval is given by:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.69

99.5% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.005, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975, so Z = 2.81.

Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07?

This is n when M = 0.07. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.07 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.69*0.31}{n}}

0.07\sqrt{n} = 1.2996

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.2996}{0.07}

\sqrt{n} = 18.5658

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (18.5658)^{2}

n = 345

A sample size of 345 is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.07

Write the following number in standard decimal form. eight and eighty-four hundredths
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Eight and eighty-four hundredths in standard decimal form is 8.84 because 8 is the whole number, the 8 on the right of the decimal is in the tenths place, and 4 is in the hundredths place. :)
