Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: B) –10.6

Work/Explanation: Since the sequence slowly gets smaller, it is likely that each term is something added to (subtracted from) the previous term. To get from –7.9 to –8.8, it appears that the first has had –0.9 added to it. Continue adding –0.9 to get that the fourth term is –10.6.

A man buys a racehorse for $20,000 and enters it in two races. He plans to sell the horse afterward, hoping to make a profit. If

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The expected profit is $10,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit can be calculated as the sum of the possible outcomes weighted by their probability of occurrence.

In this case, there are four possible outcomes:

1) The horse win both races. The value of the horse will be $100k-$20k=$80k.

The probability of this outcome is:

$P(ww)=P(w1)*P(w2)=0.2*0.3=0.06$

2) The horse win the first race, but lose the second one. The value will be $50k-$20k=$30k.

The probability is:

$P(wl)=P(w1)*(1-P(w2))=0.2*(1-0.3)=0.2*0.7=0.14$

3) The horse lose the first race, but win the second one. The value will be $50k-$20k=$30k.

The probability is:

$P(lw)=(1-P(w1))*P(w2)=(1-0.2)*0.3=0.8*0.3=0.24$

4) The horse lose both races. The value will be $10k-$20k=-$10k.

The probability is:

$P(lw)=(1-P(w1))*(1-P(w2))=(1-0.2)*(1-0.3)=0.8*0.7=0.56$

Then, the expected profit can be calculated as:

$E(x)=\sum\limits^4_{i=1} {p_ix_i}\\\\E(x)=0.06*80,000+0.14*30,000+0.24*30,000+0.56*(-10,000)\\\\E(x)=4,800+4.200+7,200-5,600=10,600$

Convert 11.42424242 to a rational expression in the form of a/b , where b ≠ 0.

TiliK225 [7]

11.424242
isolate the repeating part
11+0.424242

focus on the repeating part
0.42424242
how many places till it repeats again?
2
let's say it is x
x=0.42424242
multiply by 100
100x=42.424242

subtract them
100x-x=42.42424242-0.42424242
the infinite repeats cancel and we get
99x=42
divide by 99
$x=\frac{42}{99}$

so
$11.\overline{42}=11 \space\ \frac{42}{99}$

Write (2 4) and (6 16) in the form y=mx+b

Lena [83]

Answer:

y = 3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (16-4)/(6-2)

=12/4

We then use the point slope form of a line

y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-4 = 3(x-2)

Distribute the 3

y-4= 3x-6

Add 4 to each side

y-4+4 = 3x-6+4

y = 3x-2

This is in slope intercept form
