A degree may seem like a very small unit but an error of one degree in measuring an angle may be very significant. For example,
suppose a laser beam directed toward the visible center of the moon misses its assigned target by the amounts specified below. How far is it (in miles) from its assigned target in each case? (Use 234,000 miles as the distance from the surface of the earth to the surface of the moon.)
a: 1 degree
b: 30” (that’s 0 degree 0’ 30”)
a: 1 degree

Answer:
-0.0526
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable denoting the net gain(in dollars) for a single trial(one bet).
Assuming that each number in the wheel is equally likely, probability of the outcome being a victory is and probability of failure is
. For a win, X takes value 35 and for a loss X takes value -1. So the model is,
The mean for one bet is
The value of f(5) is -37
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given function is:</u></em>
We have to find the value of f(5)
To find the value of f(5), we have to substitute x is equal to 5 in given function
Plug in x = 5 in f(x)
Thus value of f(5) is -37
