Answer:

Your Winnings are $ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Since we are not told what two balls were actually drawn, then the expected winnings would be of the greatest probability occurring. To figure this out we need to calculate the probability of getting two red balls consecutively and the probability of getting two different colors consecutively. Since there are a total of 10 balls the probabilities of getting one ball would be the following,

Red: \frac{4}{10} =  40%

Green: \frac{6}{10} = 60%

Now we need to know the probability of us getting 2 reds together, two greens, or one of each.

2 Reds: \frac{4}{10} *\frac{4}{10} = \frac{16}{100}  = 16%

2 Greens:  \frac{6}{10} *\frac{6}{10} = \frac{36}{100}  = 36%

1 Each:  \frac{4}{10} *\frac{6}{10} = \frac{24}{100}  = 24%

So we can see that the highest probability is getting 2 Greens in  a row. Meaning you would have to pay $1

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What is the definition of math?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In simpler words mathematics is the study of numbers , quantities, or shapes.

It is the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation, and its development has involved an increasing degree of idealization and abstraction of its subject matter.

Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering, and even sports...
