A dealership sent out fliers to prospective customers, indicating that they had already won one of three different prizes. The t

hree prices are either a new car valued at 5,000, a $500 gas card, or a $55 gift card. To claim his or her prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the dealership's showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 13,320, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 13,320, and the chance of winning the gift card was 13,318 out of 13,320. Complete parts (a) and (b).
a). Using the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the expected value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier?
b). Using the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the standard deviation of the value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier?

Answer:

The expected value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier os $55.4.

The standard deviation of the value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier is $43.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the prizes is the sum ofthe prizes, weighted by their probability of happening.

E(X)=\frac{1}{13,320}*5000+ \frac{1}{13,320}*500+ \frac{13,318}{13,320}*55\\\\E(X)=\frac{5000+500+732,490}{13,320} =\frac{737,990}{13,320}= 55,4

The expected value of the prizes is $55,4.

The standard deviation will be calculated as the square root of the variance:

V(X)=\frac{1}{13,320}*(5000-55.4)^2+ \frac{1}{13,320}*(500-55.4)^2+ \frac{13,318}{13,320}*(55-55.4)^2\\\\V(X)=\frac{4944.6^2+444.6^2+13,318*0.4^2}{13,320} =\frac{24,648,869.2}{13,320}= 1,850.52

\sigma=\sqrt{V(X)} =\sqrt{1850.52}=43

The function f(x) = One-sixth (two-fifths) Superscript x is reflected across the y-axis to create the function g(x). Which order
Gekata [30.6K]

The ordered pair (-3 , \frac{4}{375} ) is on g(x) ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the reflection across the axes

  • If the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, then its image is g(x) = - f(x)  (change the sign of y)
  • If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)  (change the sign of x)

∵ f(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{2}{5})^{x}

∵ f(x) is reflected across the y-axis to create the function g(x)

- Change the sign of x

∴ g(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{2}{5})^{-x}

To find the point that lies on g(x) substitute x in g(x) by the x-coordinate of the point if the answer equal to the y-coordinate of the point, then the point lies on it if not then the point does not lie on it

∵ The coordinates of the point are (-3 , \frac{4}{375} )

∴ x = -3 and y = \frac{4}{375}

- Substitute x by -3 in g(x)

∵ g(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{2}{5})^{-x}

∴ g(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{2}{5})^{-(-3)}

∴ g(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{2}{5})^{3}

∵ (\frac{2}{5})^{3}=\frac{2^{3}}{5^{3}}=\frac{8}{125}

∴ g(x)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{8}{125})

∴ g(x)=\frac{8}{750}

- Divide up and down by 2

∴ g(x)=\frac{4}{375}

∵ The value of g(x) equal to the y-coordinate of the point

∴ The point (-3 , \frac{4}{375} ) lies on g(x)

The ordered pair (-3 , \frac{4}{375} ) is on g(x)

15.5 rounded to the nearest tenth
Degger [83]
<span>The tenths place is to the right of the decimal point.</span>
In order to round u number to the nearest tenth, you should <span>to the right of the tenths place. Depending on this number you should determine if you will round up or stay the same (if it is bigger than 5 you will round up, if not it will stay the same).
In our case, the number is 15.5 so it is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
