A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on three numbers pays 11 to 1 (that is, if you bet $1 and one of

the three numbers you bet comes up, you get back your $1 plus another $11). How much do you expect to win with a $1 bet on three numbers?

Answer:

You are expected to lose $0.05 (or win -$0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00, there are 38 possible outcomes.

In this bet, you are allowed to pick 3 out of the 38 numbers. Thus, your chances of winning (P(W)) and losing (P(L)) are:

P(W)=\frac{3}{38}\\P(L) = 1 - P(W)\\P(L) = \frac{35}{38}\\

The expected value of the bet is given by the sum of the product of each outcome pay by its probability. Winning the bet means winning $11 while losing the bet means losing $1. The expected value is:

EV = (11*\frac{3}{38}) -(1*\frac{35}{38})\\EV = -\$0.0525

Therefore, with a $1 bet, you are expected to lose roughly $0.05

Solve for x 4.72 = 3.25 + x
Anna [14]
Flip the situation:
X + 3.25 = 4.72

Subtract 3.25 from both sides
X + 3.25 - 3.25 = 4.72 - 3.25

X = 1.47

The area of a square is given by x?, where x is the length
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she doubles the area of her lot, it should be 2x^2.

But how do you get that?

The answer is that the sides have now increased to √2x

How did I get that, and why did I choose it?

  • The formula for a square's area is s^2
  • If you want to double the area, it will be 2 s^2.  Now what?
  • Take the square root of 2s^2 which is √(2s^2).
  • What that means is the side is now √2 s
