Answer:

The expected value is $-2.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 52 cards in a deck out of which 13 are spades.

The probability that both cards are spade is

\frac{13}{52} \times \frac{12}{51}=0.25 \times 0.235 = 0.0588

If both cards are spades, your friend will pay you $39. Therefore,

0.0588(39)=2.2932

The probability that both cards are not spade is:

1-0.0588=0.9412

If both cards are not spades then you have to pay your friend $5. Therefore,

0.9412(-5)=-4.706

Here, negative sign represents the losses.

The expected value of your bet is:

2.2932-4.706 = -2.4128

Hence, the expected value is $-2.41.

How would you write y=2/3x+1/3 in point slope form??
gladu [14]

Answer:

y - 1 = 2/3(x - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

y = 2/3x + 1/3   which gives the slope m = 2/3.

We can now find a point on the line by putting x = 1 say then find y:

y  = 2/3(1) + 1/3  =  2/3 + 1/3 = 1 so  the point is (1, 1).

(x1, y1) = (1, 1)

So the answer is ;

y - 1 = 2/3(x - 1).
