A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on five numbers pays 6 to 1 (that is, if one of the five numbers

tatiyna

Answer:

5 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

So the roulette wheel would have a total of 38 numbers, which means 38 different possible cases. Since you are allowed to bet on 5 numbers, the chance to win this is 5 out of 38 and to lose this is 33 out of 38.

If you win, you get 1 + 6 = 7 dollar, and if you lose, you lose 1 dollar.

Therefore the expected amount out of this game is:

$E = 7\frac{5}{38} - 1\frac{33}{38} = \frac{35}{38} - \frac{33}{38} = \frac{2}{38} = \frac{1}{19} = \$0.0526$

or 5 cents

MATHEMATICAL CONNECTIONS The value of the surface area of the cylinder is equal to the value of the volume of the cylinder. Find

loris [4]

Given :

The value of the surface area of the cylinder is equal to the value of the volume of the cylinder.

To Find :

The relation between height and radius.

Solution :

$S.A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2=2\pi r(h+r)$

$V=\pi r^2h$

Now ,

$S.A=V\\\\2\pi r(h+r)=\pi r^2h\\\\2(h+r)=rh\\\\2h+2r=rh\\\\h(2-r)=-2r\\\\h=\dfrac{2r}{r-2}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
