Jane is playing a game in which he spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a number

ed slice at random This game is this: Jane spins the spinner once. She wins $1 if the spinner stops on the number 1, $4 if the spinner stops on the number 2, $7 if the spinner stops on the number 3, and $10 if the spinner stops on the number 4. She loses $8.75 if the spinner stops on 5 or 6.

Answer:

The expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the weighted average of the random variable.

The formula to compute the expected value of a random variable <em>X</em> is:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

The random variable <em>X</em> in this case can be defined as the amount won in playing the game.

The probability distribution of <em>X</em> is as follows:

Number on spinner:   1           2           3          4           5              6

Amount earned (<em>X</em>):   $1        $4         $7        $10     -$8.75     -$8.75

Probability:                 1/6       1/6         1/6        1/6         1/6           1/6

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

         =(1\times \frac{1}{6})+(4\times \frac{1}{6})+(7\times \frac{1}{6})+(10\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})

         =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{4}{6}+\frac{7}{6}+\frac{10}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}

         =\frac{1+4+7+10-8.75-8.75}{6}

         =0.75

Thus, the expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

Which expression can be used to find the area of the rectangle shown on the coordinate plane?
Naily [24]
Answer:

8 * 7

Explanation:

When you count the squares along the area, you will find that the base is 8 units, and the height is 7 units. The area of a square is equal to base * height, so the correct answer is 8 * 7.

Solve the formula: V = 1/2 (bh) H for h
Semmy [17]
Times both sides b 2
2V=(bh)H
remember associative property
(ab)c=a(bc)
and
ab=ba
so
(bh)H=h(bH)

2V=h(bH)
divide both sides by bH
\frac{2V}{bH} =h

The answer to #2?? I already have the graph but I still need the answer
Sidana [21]
If we have 

y = 6x + 1 and x - y = 11, we can take advantage of  y - y = 0 as follows:
                                         Subtract x from both sides of the 2nd equation:
                                         -y = 11 - x

Now combine 

 y = 6x + 1
-y = 11 - x
--------------
0 = 5x + 12.  Solving for x, x = -12/5.     Using the equation above, find y:
                                                               -y = 11 - x
                                                                   = 11 - (-12/5)
                                                                   = 55/5 + 12/5 = 67/5

Then the solution is (-12.5, 67/5).
