Consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number,

that many points will be added to the player’s total. Any other roll will be deducted from the player’s total. What is the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game?

Answer:

The expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game is \dfrac{1}{6} = 0.1667 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number, that many points will be added to the player’s total. Any other roll will be deducted from the player’s total.

Assuming that the numbered cube is a dice with numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Here, the prime numbers are = 1, 2, 3 and 5

Numbers which are not prime = 4 and 6

This means that if the dice got the number 1, 2, 3 or 5, then that many points will be added to the player’s total and if the dice got the number 4 or 6, then that many points will get deducted from the player’s total.

Here, we have to make a probability distribution to find the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game.

Note that the probability of getting any of the specific number on the dice is   \dfrac{1}{6} .

      Numbers on the dice (X)                       P(X)

                      +1                                                 \frac{1}{6}

                      +2                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      +3                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      -4                                                 \frac{1}{6}

                      +5                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      -6                                                 \frac{1}{6}

Here (+) sign represent the addition in the player's total and (-) sign represents the deduction in the player's total.

Now, the expected value of X, E(X)  =  \sum X \times P(X)

   =  (+1) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+2) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+3) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-4) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+5) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-6) \times \frac{1}{6}

   =  \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} - \frac{4}{6} + \frac{5}{6} - \frac{6}{6}

   =  \frac{1+2+3-4+5-6}{6}

   =  \frac{11-10}{6}= \frac{1}{6}

Hence, the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game is  \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667 .

Draw a line say ab take point c out of it through c draw a line parellel to ab using compass and ruler only
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

give me brainliest

Given a line AB with Point C outside it.

Mark point D on the line AB. Join CD

With D as center, and any radius, draw an arc intersecting AB at E, and CD at F.

With C as center, and same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting CD at G.

Open a compass to length EF

Now,with G as center, and compass opened the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at H.

Draw a line m passing through C and H.

Thus m is the line parallel to AB, and passing through point C

∴m∣∣AB

I Need to find the Function Operations​
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1) (f+g)(x)=2x^2+3x-6

2) (f-g)(x)=2x^2+x

3) (f \cdot g)(x)=2x^3-4x^2-9x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two functions:

f(x)=2x^2+2x-3\text{ and } g(x)=x-3

And we want to find (f+g)(x), (f-g)(x), and (f*g)(x).

1)

(f+g)(x) is the same to f(x)+g(x). Substitute:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\=(2x^2+2x-3)+(x-3)

Combine like terms:

=(2x^2)+(2x+x)+(-3-3)

Add:

=2x^2+3x-6

So:

(f+g)(x)=2x^2+3x-6

2)

(f-g)(x) is the same to f(x)-g(x). So:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\=(2x^2+2x-3)-(x-3)

Distribute:

=(2x^2+2x-3)+(-x+3)

Combine like terms:

=(2x^2)+(2x-x)+(-3+3)

Simplify:

=2x^2+x

So:

(f-g)(x)=2x^2+x

3)

(f*g)(x) is the same to f(x)*g(x). Thus:

(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)\\=(2x^2+2x-3)(x-3)

Distribute:

=(2x^2+2x-3)(x)+(2x^2+2x-3)(-3)

Distribute:

=(2x^3+2x^2-3x)+(-6x^2-6x+9)

Combine like terms:

=(2x^3)+(2x^2-6x^2)+(-3x-6x)+(9)

Simplify:

=2x^3-4x^2-9x+9

So:

(f \cdot g)(x)=2x^3-4x^2-9x+9
