<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
Answer:
£44
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the ratio 1 : 3 , where 1 is stephens value and 3 is bridgets value.
We have told that stephen gets £11.
The relationship between stephens 'value' of 1 and the amount of money that he actually gets (11) is x11.
Therefore we must also x11 to Bridgets value.
11 x 3 = £33
Now, we add the two answers to find how much they won in total.
£33 + £11 = £44
hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the numerator of the rational number then 2x is the denominator
original fraction = 
subtracting 3 from numerator and adding 7 to denominator , gives
= 
( cross- multiply )
5(x - 3) = 2(2x + 7) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
5x - 15 = 4x + 14 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
x - 15 = 14 ( add 15 to both sides )
x = 29
rational number =
Answer:
81 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Now: 1 mm
In 10 minutes: 3 * 1 mm = 3 mm
In 20 minutes: 3 * 3 mm = 9 mm
In 30 minutes: 3 * 9 mm = 27 mm
In 40 minutes: 3 * 27 mm = 81 mm
Answer: 81 mm
