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

What is the smallest rotation clockwise about the center of the figure that will carry the entire figure onto itself.
postnew [5]

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular n-sided polygon has n axes of symmetry.  The angle between two consecutive axes is 360° / n.

In the case of an octagon, the angle is 360° / 8 = 45°.

Answer:

a) 7 tiles

b)4 1/3 tiles*

Step-by-step explanation:

*you would need 5 tiles if the answer isn't supposed to be a fraction. 4 1/3 is the exact amount but if they are asking for whole tiles you need to put 5. since they didn't actually specifiy that i don't think you have to worry about it. i would go with 4 1/3 tiles

The length of the rectangle is six times its width if the perimeter is 70cm find its area
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 70 m

so w + w + 6w + 6w = 70

w = 70/14 = 5, l = 30m.

Area = l * w = 30 * 5 = 150 sq m
