A bag of marbles contains 2 gold marbles, 10 silver marbles, and 30 black marbles. You decide to play the following game: Random

ly select one marble from the bag. If it is gold, you win $5. If it is silver, you win $2. If it is black, you lose $2. What is the expected value if you play the game? Express losses as negative values and do not include the dollar sign in your answer. Round to the nearest cent.

Answer:

-.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Marbles: 2+10+30=42

Gold Marble: 2/42= 0.0476

Silver Marbles: 10/42= 0.238

Black Marbles: 30/42= 0.714

Answer:

-71 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls is 2 + 10 + 30 = 42 balls

The probability of getting gold marbleP_g = 2/42 = 0.04762

The probability of getting silver marbleP_s = 10/42 = 0.2381

The probability of getting black marbleP_b = 30/42 = 0.7143

With the price for each case, we can calculate the expected value of the game by multiplying the price money by the probability and sum them up

E = 5P_g + 2P_s - 2P_b

E = 5*0.04762 + 2*0.2381 - 2*0.7143 = -0.714 dollar

or -71 cents.

So expect to lose 71 cents everytime you play this game

What is the third angle of a triangle if the other two are (3x-20)° and (4x+10)°​
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The other angle is 190-7x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Let A be the third angle.

A + (3x-20) + (4x+10) = 180

A = 180 - (3x - 20) - (4x + 10) = 190 - 7x

Can someone help and give me a step by step explanation please?!

Answer:

  • ∠QSR = 78°
  • ∠SQR = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle (QTR) is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. The measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the central angle it intercepts. So, we have ...

  ∠QSR = 2×∠QTR

  ∠QSR = 2×39°

  ∠QSR = 78°

__

Sides SQ and SR are radii of circle S, so are the same length. That means triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle and the base angles SQR and SRQ are congruent. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so we have ...

  ∠QSR + 2(∠SQR) = 180°

  78° + 2(∠SQR) = 180° . . . . fill in the value we know

  2(∠SQR) = 102° . . . . . . . . . subtract 78°

  ∠SQR = 51° . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

Enter values for a and b, so that the system of equation shown has one solution y=3x+4 and y=ax+b a=? b=?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

a = 3 and b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Equations

Lines intersect

One solution

In this case the two equations describe lines that intersect at one particular point. Clearly this point is on both lines, and therefore its coordinates (x, y) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (x, y) is the one and only solution to the system of equations. One solution is called "consistent". This shows two distinct non-parallel lines that cross at exactly one point. This is called an "independent" system of equations, and the solution is always some x, y-point.

your parents are buying a house for 187 500 they have a good credit rating are making a 20% down payment and expect to pay $1,57
bogdanovich [222]
For the answer to the question above, $187,500 is a cost of a house. 20%, or $37,500 is the down payment. The loan amount would be $187,500 - $37,500 = $150,000. If we assume the annual rate of the loan is 4.65% Then the monthly rate would be 4.65%/12 = 0.3875% If the loan is $150,000, the interest is 0.3875% The interest for the first month is $150,000 * 0.3875% = $581.25. You stated that their payment is $1,575. So the amount that pays off the loan is $1,575 - $581.25 = $993.75. At the end of the month, they owe $150,000 - $993.75 = $149,006.25 and for the second month, the amount of the payment that goes towards interest is $149,006.25 * 0.3875% = $577.40. and the amount that goes towards the loan is $997.60.

At the end of the second month, they owe $148,008.65. Regarding they realized income, we recommend a monthly loan payment not to exceed 28% of the monthly income.
So if a payment of $1,575 is 28% of Gross,
Then it must be
: $1,575 = 0.28*Gross. Gross = $5,625 monthly.
About $67,500 annually. About $33.75 an hour.
