If an unfair coin is tossed into the air and drops without interruption, its probability of landing on heads is 0.51 whereas the

probability of landing on tails is 0.49. If the payoff for landing on heads is $0.99 and the payoff for landing on tails is $1.01 and it costs $1 to play each game, should you play?
1)Yes, because over the long run your expected value is greater than the lowest payoff

2)No, because over the long run your expected value is lower than the lowest payoff

3)Yes, because over the long run your expected value is greater than the cost to play

4)No, because over the long run your expected value is less than the cost to play

Answer:

  4)  No, because over the long run your expected value is less than the cost to play

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is ...

  0.51×0.99 + 0.49×1.01 = 0.5049 +0.4949 = 0.9998

This expected value is less than the cost to play, so you will lose money in the long run. You should not play.

H(t) = −t2 + t + 1 h(x + 1)
Harman [31]

The value of the function h(x + 1) is -x^2 - x + 1

<h3>How to evaluate the function?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

h(t) =-t^2 + t + 1

The function is given as:

h(x + 1)

This means that t = x + 1

So, we substitute t = x + 1 in the equation h(t) =-t^2 + t + 1

h(x + 1) =-(x + 1)^2 + (x + 1) + 1

Evaluate the exponent

h(x + 1) =-(x^2 + 2x + 1) + x + 1 + 1

Expand the brackets

h(x + 1) = -x^2 - 2x - 1 + x + 1 + 1

Evaluate the like terms

h(x + 1) = -x^2 - x + 1

Hence, the value of the function h(x + 1) is -x^2 - x + 1

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER !

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The second and 3rd one can be modeled by by y = 100/x but the first one and the fourth one do not follow that, so the answer is neither. The first and fourth are y = 80/x

Put the values in and you will see the equations for yourself.

One

y = 80/2

y = 40

The 80 came from looking at this as an indirect variation. y = k/x

y = 40

x = 2

y = k/x

40 = k/2  Multiply both sides by 2

40 * 2 = k

k = 80

Two

y = k/x

20 = k/5

k = 20 * 5

k = 100
