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 the compound inequality 9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.
leva [86]

Answer:

x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : 9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.

To find : Solve the compound inequality.

Solution : We have given  9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.

For 9x ≤ –27 .

On dividing both sides by 9.

x  ≤ – 3.

For ,  4x ≥ 36.

On dividing both sides by 4.

x ≥ 9.

We can write x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.

Therefore,  x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.

How long will it take an airplane flying at an average cruising speed of 230 miles per hour to fly 1380 miles?
lora16 [44]

Since it takes one hour to fly 230 miles, and we are looking for the number of hours, we can divide the number of miles we are given by the speed. In this case, we would divide 1380 by 230 to get 6. This means it would take 6 hours for the plane to fly 1380 miles.
