The expectation value is simply obtained by multiplying the probability of each outcome by each possible value. These are then summed for each outcome to obtain the expectation value. In the board game, if there is a 60% chance that you will move 4 spaces forward (+4) and a 40% chance that you will move back 2 spaces then expected value for number of spaces is (0.6 x 4) + (0.4 x -2) = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 spaces.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we can determine if these are right triangles or not.

equation: sqrt a^2+b^2=c

this means the square root of the two shortest sides squared must equal to the largest side, (the hypotenuese).

Work for C:

Squareroot of 32^2 + 24^2 = 40cm

The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is .18. What is the probability that a stu
devlian [24]

Answer:  0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :

P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)

= 1-0.18=0.82

Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82
