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

How to solve this kind of question?

<span>96 degrees Looking at the diagram, you have a regular pentagon on top and a regular hexagon on the bottom. Towards the right of those figures, a side is extended to create an irregularly shaped quadrilateral. And you want to fine the value of the congruent angle to the furthermost interior angle. So let's start. Each interior angle of the pentagon has a value of 108. The supplementary angle will be 180 - 108 = 72. So one of the interior angles of the quadrilateral will be 72. From the hexagon, each interior angle is 120 degrees. So the supplementary angle will be 180-120 = 60 degrees. That's another interior angle of the quadrilateral. The 3rd interior angle of the quadrilateral will be 360-108-120 = 132 degrees. So we now have 3 of the interior angles which are 72, 60, and 132. Since all the interior angles will add up to 360, the 4th angle will be 360 - 72 - 60 - 132 = 96 degrees. And since x is the opposite (or congruent) angle to this 4th interior angle, it too has the value of 96 degrees.</span>
