The game of American roulette involves spinning a wheel with 38 slots: 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. A ball is spun onto the wh

eel and will eventually land in a slot, where each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball. Gamblers can place bets on red or black. If the ball lands on their color, they double their money. If it lands on another color, they lose their money. Suppose you bet $1 on red.(a) What's the expected value of your winnings?(b) What's the standard deviation of your winnings?

Answer:

a)- \frac{1}{19}

b) SD(x) =  0.9986

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of slots 38

slots for red ball 18

slots for black = 18

slots for green 2

outcomes       Red      Black or Green

Profit                  1                 -1

P(X)                   18/38       20/38

Expected value of wining,  

E(x) = 1. \frac{18}{38} + (-1) \frac{20}{38} = - \frac{2}{38} = - \frac{1}{19}

B) Standard deviation of winning SD(x)

SD(x) = \sqrt{(1- (-\frac{1}{19})^2 .\frac{18}{38} + (1- (-\frac{1}{19})^2 .\frac{20}{38}}

SD(x) = \sqrt{\frac{360}{361}

SD(x) =  0.9986

A jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam cost $10.20 in total. the jar of peanut butter costs $10.00 more than the jar of jam. ho
Olegator [25]
Well this is pretty simple. So the first thought is that the peanut butter would be 10$ and the jam would be 0.20$, however, the peanut butter would not be 10$ more. Instead, subtract the 10$ from the total, which gives you 0.20$, and then divide that by two. Now you have 0.10$ for each, along with another 10$ for the peanut butter. The peanut butter would be $10.10, and the jam would be 0.10$ (that's pretty cheap!).
