Consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number,
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game is \dfrac{1}{6} = 0.1667 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number, that many points will be added to the player’s total. Any other roll will be deducted from the player’s total.

Assuming that the numbered cube is a dice with numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Here, the prime numbers are = 1, 2, 3 and 5

Numbers which are not prime = 4 and 6

This means that if the dice got the number 1, 2, 3 or 5, then that many points will be added to the player’s total and if the dice got the number 4 or 6, then that many points will get deducted from the player’s total.

Here, we have to make a probability distribution to find the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game.

Note that the probability of getting any of the specific number on the dice is   \dfrac{1}{6} .

      Numbers on the dice (X)                       P(X)

                      +1                                                 \frac{1}{6}

                      +2                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      +3                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      -4                                                 \frac{1}{6}

                      +5                                                \frac{1}{6}

                      -6                                                 \frac{1}{6}

Here (+) sign represent the addition in the player's total and (-) sign represents the deduction in the player's total.

Now, the expected value of X, E(X)  =  \sum X \times P(X)

   =  (+1) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+2) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+3) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-4) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+5) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-6) \times \frac{1}{6}

   =  \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} - \frac{4}{6} + \frac{5}{6} - \frac{6}{6}

   =  \frac{1+2+3-4+5-6}{6}

   =  \frac{11-10}{6}= \frac{1}{6}

Hence, the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game is  \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667 .

Which line is parallel to the line<br> shown below?
Travka [436]
<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

====================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

  • slope of equation B is 3/4
  • slope of equation C is -4/3
  • slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

Why is it not possible to form a right triangle with the lengths 2, 4, and 7? *
puteri [66]

Answer:

No. The sum of 2 and 4 is less than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first, to create a triangle, the sum of two smallest sides have to be greater than the longest side, which is 2+4 = 6, and 6 is smaller than 7.

So, no, 2, 4, and 7 cannot create a triangle, to be exact a right triangle.

Hope this helps!!
