Let be the random variable representing the winnings you get for playing the game. Then
First thing to do is determine the probability of each of the above events. You roll two dice, which offers 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes. You find the probability of the above events by dividing the number of ways those events can occur by 36.
- The sum is odd if one die is even and the other is odd. This can happen 2 * 3 * 3 = 18 ways. (3 ways to roll even with the first die, 3 ways to roll odd for the die, then multiply by 2 to count odd/even rolls)
- The sum is 4 if you roll (1, 3), (2, 2), or (3, 1), and the sum is 8 if you roll (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), or (6, 2). 8 ways.
- The sum is 2 if you roll (1, 1), and the sum is 12 if you roll (6, 6). 2 ways.
- There are 36 total possible rolls, from which you subtract the 18 that yield a sum that is odd and the other 10 listed above, leaving 8 ways to win nothing.
So the probability mass function for this game is
The expected value of playing the game is then
or about $7.89.
The expected value is positive, so a player can expect to earn money in the long run, and so should play the game.
Answer:
oh I know the answer its r=27
Step-by-step explanation:
I know that it is 27 because 16+24=65 and 65+27 is 180
First, let's get the area of the entire triangle since we'll need it later. The area of a triangle is A=1/2*b*h
We can find the height with the Pythagorean theorem by splitting the triangle in half.
3^2+b^2=6^2
9+b^2=36
b^2=27
b=√27
Then we can find the area:
A=1/2*6*√27
A=3√27 or =9√3 or 15.59
Now we can find the area of each region in the triangle other than the shaded region because they are all portions of a circle.
Each region has an angle of 60 because this is an equilateral triangle. Therefore the area of each region other than the shaded region will be 1/6 the area of a circle with a radius of 3 because a full circle is 360 degrees.
A=pi*r^2/6
A=pi*9/6
A=4.71
So three of these regions would have an area of 14.14
We do the area of the triangle minus the area of these regions to get the area of the shaded region
15.59-14.14 = 1.45
Hope this helps!
