Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, on

e chip has the number 3, and the other chip has the number 5. Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1).
Let X = the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe. Fill out the missing values in the table. (Hint: The total possible outcomes are six because there are four chips and you are choosing two of them.)

Answer:

P(X_i=2) =\dfrac{1}{6}

P(X_i=-1) =\dfrac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the numbers on the chips = 1, 1, 3 and 5

Miguel chooses two chips.

Condition of winning: Both the chips are same i.e. 1 and 1 are chosen.

Miguel gets $2 on winning and loses $1 on getting different numbers.

To find:

Probability of winning $2 and losing $1 respectively.

Solution:

Here, we are given 4 numbers 1, 1, 3 and 5 out of which 2 numbers are to be chosen.

This is a simple selection problem.

The total number of ways of selecting r numbers from n is given as:

_nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Here, n = 4 and r = 2.

So, total number of ways = _4C_2  = \frac{4!}{2!\times 2!} = 6

Total number of favorable cases in winning = choosing two 1's from two 1's i.e. _2C_2 = \frac{2!}{2! 0! } = 1

Now, let us have a look at the formula of probability of an event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable ways}}{\text{Total number of ways}}

So, the probability of winning.

P(X_i=2) =\dfrac{1}{6}

Total number of favorable cases for -1: (6-1) = 5

So, probability of getting -1:

P(X_i=-1) =\dfrac{5}{6}

Please refer to the attached image for answer table.

Find the area of the shape shown<br> below.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 28 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle, ignoring the triangle.

a = lw \\ a = 4 \times 8 = 32

Then, find the area of the triangle:

a =  \frac{bh}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{2 \times 4}{2}  \\ a = 4

Finally, subtract:

32 - 4 = 28

The missing step 2 should be;

The quantity of the sum of thirty six plus two divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

The missing step 6 would be that; 76 - 1.85

<h3>How to Solve Mathematical Order of Operations?</h3>

We want to know the steps to solving the expression the quantity of the sum of six squared plus two divided by the absolute value of negative 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

This can be expressed as;

6² + 2 ÷ |-0.5| - 14.8 ÷ 8

Thus, the next step which is step 2 should be;

The quantity of the sum of thirty six plus two divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8

The missing step 6 would be that;

76 - 1.85
