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

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 50°F to Celsius

Formula

                  °C = (°F - 32) x 0.56

Process

                   °C = (50 - 32) x 0.56

                  °C = 18 x 0.56

                  °C = 10.08

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

a)

(2x-2)^2 - (x+4)^2 \\\\=(2x-2-(x+4))(2x-2+x+4)\\\\=(2x-2-x-4)(3x+2)\\\\=\boxed{(x-6)(3x+2)}

b)

(3x+4) (3x-4)\\\\=(3x)^2-4^2\\\\=\boxed{9x^2-16}

Thank you.
