For many years, organized crime ran a numbers game that is now run legally by many state governments. the player selects a three digit number from 000 to 999. there are 1000 such numbers. a bet of $1 is placed on a number, say number 115. if the number is selected, the player wins $500. if any other number is selected, the player wins nothing. find the expected value for this game and describe what it means

Answer:
-2, 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can consider the area to be that of a trapezoid with parallel bases f(a) and f(4), and width (4-a). The area of that trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(f(a) +f(4))(4 -a)
= (1/2)((3a -1) +(3·4 -1))(4 -a)
= (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
We want this area to be 12, so we can substitute that value for A and solve for "a".
12 = (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
24 = (3a +10)(4 -a) = -3a² +2a +40
3a² -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
(3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor
Values of "a" that make these factors zero are ...
a = 8/3, a = -2
The values of "a" that make the area under the curve equal to 12 are -2 and 8/3.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The attachment shows a solution using the numerical integration function of a graphing calculator. The area under the curve of function f(x) on the interval [a, 4] is the integral of f(x) on that interval. Perhaps confusingly, we have called that area f(a). As we have seen above, the area is a quadratic function of "a". I find it convenient to use a calculator's functions to solve problems like this where possible.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
It could be a positive square root l like √10 ( the number not being a perfect square).
He would have obtained this value from the application of the Pythagoras theorem. For example the length and width of the rectangle might have been 3 and 1 foot respectively, so the diagonal would have length √(3^2 + 1^2) = √10.
He could give an estimate of the length to nearest hundredth using his calculator. This would be 3.16 feet.
