In the casino game of roulette, a gambler can bet on which of 38 numbers the ball will land when the roulette wheel is spun. On

a $2 bet, a gambler gains $70 (so a net profit of $68) if he or she chooses the winning number, but loses the $2 otherwise. The probability of choosing the winning number is 1/38 and the probability of not choosing the winning number is 37/38. Let X denote the net gain from a roulette spin. What is the expected winnings for one spin?

Answer:

Expected winnings for one spin = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value = Sum of [(Probability of X)(Value of X)]

E(X) = Σ [P(X).X]

Two Events : X = +68 , P(X) = 1/38 and X = -2 , P(X) = 37/38

E(X) = [(68) (1/38)] + [(-2)(37/38)]

[(68)(0.03)] + [(-2)(0.97)]

= 2.04 - 1.94

= 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Critical Path Analysis is presented using the circle and arrow diagrams.
  • Earliest Start Time = the earliest possible time of  starting the activity
  • An arrow running between two event circles shows the activity needed to complete that task.
  • All arrows run left to right
  • Time for doing just task E = 8 hours (as shown in the figure)

if each dimension of a unit cube is increased by 1. what is the ratio between the surface area of the new cube to that of the or
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

4:1 or 4/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Original surface area: Each side is 1 * 1 = 1 and there are 6 sides, so 1 * 6 = 6.

New surface area: Each side is 2*2 = 4, and there are 6 sides, so 4 * 6 = 24

The ratio would be 24:6, or 4:1. As a fraction, this would be 4/1

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY 25 POINTS
Natalija [7]

Answer:

○ \displaystyle \pi

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle \boxed{y = 3sin\:(2x + \frac{\pi}{2})} \\ y = Asin(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \hookrightarrow \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{4}} \hookrightarrow \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{2} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{2}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3

<em>OR</em>

\displaystyle \boxed{y = 3cos\:2x} \\ y = Acos(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{2}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3

You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. First off, keep in mind that although this looks EXACTLY like the cosine graph, if you plan on writing your equation as a function of <em>sine</em>, then there WILL be a horisontal shift, meaning that a C-term will be involved. As you can see, the photograph on the right displays the trigonometric graph of \displaystyle y = 3sin\:2x,in which you need to replase "cosine" with "sine", then figure out the appropriate C-term that will make the graph horisontally shift and map onto the <em>sine</em> graph [photograph on the left], accourding to the horisontal shift formula above. Also keep in mind that the −C gives you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY <em>REALLY</em> ARE, so you must be careful with your calculations. So, between the two photographs, we can tell that the <em>sine</em> graph [photograph on the right] is shifted \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unitto the right, which means that in order to match the <em>cosine</em> graph [photograph on the left], we need to shift the graph BACKWARD \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unit,which means the C-term will be negative, and by perfourming your calculations, you will arrive at \displaystyle \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{2}.So, the sine graph of the cosine graph, accourding to the horisontal shift, is \displaystyle y = 3sin\:(2x + \frac{\pi}{2}).Now, with all that being said, in this case, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph WILL hit \displaystyle [-1\frac{3}{4}\pi, 0],from there to \displaystyle [-\frac{3}{4}\pi, 0],they are obviously \displaystyle \pi\:unitsapart, telling you that the period of the graph is \displaystyle \pi.Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the <em>midline</em>. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at \displaystyle y = 0,in which each crest is extended <em>three units</em> beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts vertically, the midline will ALWAYS follow.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.
