One of the wagers in roulette is to bet that the ball will stop on a number that is a multiple of 3. (Both 0 and 00 are not incl

uded.) If the ball stops on such a number, the player wins double the amount bet. If a player bets $2, compute the player's expectation.

Answer:

The players expectation is -0.1052

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the Roulette numbers to from 1-36, also the two green zeroes 0 and 00,

Thus, there are 38 places on which the ball can land.

On first 36 numbers, 12 of them are divisible by 3. Also there are 26 numbers which are not divisible by 3.

The probability of a wager winning is: 12/38 or 6/19

Now the probability of a wager to loss is: 26/38 or 13/19

So for a 6/19 chance of winning $4 and a 13/19 chance of losing $2.

Therefore, the expected outcome is:

4 × 6/19 + -2 × 13/19 = 1.2632 - 1.3684 = -0.1052

The expected value comes up with a negative sign. Hence, he will lose money.

The players expectation is -0.1052

Joseph owns a hot dog stand and sells specialized hot dogs. He charges $1.50 for a plain hot dog and then an additional $0.50 fo
Lilit [14]

Hot Dog Stand

Let

C--------> total cost of the hot dog

x-------> is the number of toppings

we know that

C=0.5x+1.5

where

The slope of the linear equation is equal to 0.5\frac{\$}{topping}

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the linear function is equal to \$1.5

That means -------> This is the cost of the hot dog without topping  

Hamburgers Stand

Let

C--------> total cost of the hamburger

x-------> is the number of toppings

we know that

C=0.25x+2.50

where

The slope of the linear equation is equal to 0.25\frac{\$}{topping}

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the linear function is equal to \$2.5

That means -------> This is the cost of the hamburger without topping

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The linear equation of the hamburger cost is equal to

C=0.25x+2.50
