Bin $A$ has one white ball and four black balls. Bin $B$ has three balls labeled $\$1$ and one ball labeled $\$7$. Bin $W$ has f

ive balls labeled $\$8$ and one ball labeled $\$500$. A game is played as follows: a ball is randomly selected from bin $A$. If it is black, then a ball is randomly selected from bin $B$; otherwise, if the original ball is white, then a ball is randomly selected from bin $W$. You win the amount printed on the second ball selected. What is your expected win

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Bin A has one white ball and four black balls, the money ball has a 1/5 chance of coming from Bin W and a 4/5 chance of coming from Bin B. The total expected value therefore is $E = 1/5E_W+4/5E_B, where E_W and E_B are the expected values of a ball drawn from bins W and B, respectively. Since Bin W has five 8 dollar balls and one 500 dollar ball, its expected value is E_W = 5/6*8 + 1/6*500 = 90. Since Bin B has three 1 dollar balls and one 7 dollar ball, its expected value is E_B = 3/4*1 + 1/4*7 = $2.5. Therefore  E = 1/5E_W + 4/5E_B = 1/5*90 + 4/5*2.5 = 20

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Bin A:                             Bin B:                  Bin W:

white ball: 20%              $1: 75%                $8: 5/6

black ball: 80%              $7: 25%               $500: 1/6

first we can calculate the expected return of bins B and W:

expected return if the ball is black = ($1 x 75%) + ($7 x 25%) = $2.50

expected return if the ball is white = ($8 x 5/6) + ($500 x 1/6) = $90

expected return of the game = (expected return of a black ball x probability of choosing a black ball) + (expected return of a white ball x probability of choosing a white ball) =($2.50 x 80%) + ($90 x 20%) = $2 + $18 = $20

If (a+b)^2=54, and (a-b)^=46, then a^2+b^2=?
erastovalidia [21]

(a+b)^2 =a^2 +b^2 + 2ab = 54~~~.....(i)\\\\(a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab = 46~~~.....(i)\\\\\\(i)+(ii):\\\\(a+b)^2 +(a-b)^2  = 54+46\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 + 2ab + a^2 +b^2 - 2ab =100\\\\\implies 2a^2 +2b^2 =100\\\\ \\\implies 2(a^2 +b^2) =100\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 = \dfrac{100}2 = 50

PLEASE HELP MEE! the table below shows y, the average speed of a cyclist in miles per hour, and x, the time in hours that it tak
Alla [95]
By definition it is known that speed equals the distance between time.
 Therefore, according to the definition, the last two options are the possible answers:
 Let's evaluate the third option:
 y = (3/2) * (1 / x)
 x = 12
 y = (3/2) * (1/12) = 3/24 = 1/8
 The table is not fulfilled
 Let's evaluate the fourth option:
 y = (96 / x)
 x = 12
 y = (96/12) = 8
 Yes, the table is met.
 answer:
 y = (96 / x)
