Answer: Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of colored chips = 20

Number of blue chips = 2

Number of purple chips = 4

Number of green chips = 7

Number of red chips = 7

Amount of prize he gets for blue chip = $10

Amount of prize he gets for a purple chip = $5

No amount is given for red or green

Amount he had to pay = $2

So, Expected value of playing the game is given by

\frac{2}{20}\times 10+\frac{4}{20}\times 5+7\times 0+7\times 0-2\\\\=1+1-2\\\\=2-2\\\\=\$0

Hence, Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Answer: $0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total colored chips  in the bottle= 20

No. of blue chips = 2

Probability of getting blue chip= \dfrac{2}{20}=0.1

Prize for blue chip = $10

No. of purple chips = 4

Probability of getting purple chip= \dfrac{4}{20}=0.2

Prize for purple chips = $5

No. of green chips = 7

No.of red chips = 7

Probability of getting green chip or red chip= \dfrac{7+7}{20}=0.7

Price for green or red chip = 0

Amount you paid to play the game = $2

Then , the expected value of playing the game will be :-

0.1\times\$10+0.2\times\$5+0.7\times\$0-\$2\\\\=\$1+\$1-\$2=\$0

Hence, the expected value of playing the game = $0

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Both sides of the equation are equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)

(1/2*8x) + (1/2*4) = (1/4*8) + (1/4*16x)

4x + 2 = 2 + 4x

(4x - 4x) + 2 = 2 (+ 4x - 4x)

2 = 2

A farmer sells 8.3 kg of apples and pears at the farmers market this way is apples and Restless Paris how many kilograms of Pari
Serga [27]

Answer:

She sell <u>2.075 kilograms</u> of pears at the farmer's market.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>There is a mistake in the question some data is missing, so the correct question is below: </em></u>

<em>A farmer sells 8.3 kg of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 3 /4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?</em>

Now, to find the kilograms of pears.

Total weight of apples and pears = 8.3 kg.

Weight of apples = \frac{3}{4} of 8.3 kg.

So, to get the weight of apples:

  \frac{3}{4} \times 8.3

=0.75\times 8.3

=6.225\ kg.

Thus, the weight of apples = 6.225 kg.

Now, to get the weight of pears we subtract the weight of apples from the total weight of apples and pears:

8.3-6.225\\\\=2.075\ kg.

Therefore, she sell 2.075 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
