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.

Answer:

As per dot plots we see the distribution of prices is close but majority of prices are concentrated in different zones. So MAD would be more similar by the look.

<u>Let's verify</u>

<h3>Neighborhood 1</h3>

<u>Data</u>

  • 55, 55, 60, 60, 70, 80, 80, 80, 90, 120

<u>Mean</u>

  • (55*2+ 60*2+ 70+ 80*3 + 90+ 120)/10 = 75

<u>MAD</u>

  • (20*2+15*2+5+5*3+15+45)/10 = 15
<h3>Neighborhood 2</h3>

<u>Data</u>

  • 100, 110, 110, 110, 120, 120, 120, 140, 150, 160

<u>Mean</u>

  • (100 + 110*3+ 120*3+ 140 + 150+ 160)/10 = 124

<u>MAD</u>

  • (24+14*3+4*3+16*3+16+26+36)/10 = 20.4

As we see the means are too different (75 vs 124) than MADs (15 vs 20.4).

blondinia [14]
150 divided by 25 equals 6. 6 times 3 equals 18. This means that you will spend $18 on gas each week.
