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

inysia [295]

Answer: 0.3413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: an American household generates an average of 28 pounds of newspaper for garbage or recycling. Assume the standard deviation is 2 pounds.

Let \mu=\text{ 28 pounds and }\sigma=\text{ 2 pounds} .

Let x be the random variable that denotes the amount of newspaper for garbage generated by each household each month.

If the data conforms to a normal distribution and a household is selected at random, the probability of its generating between 28 and 30 pounds per month is about

P(28

Hence, the required probability is 0.3413.

What is 96-4.5y-3.2y=5.6y+42.80<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!!!
Lady_Fox [76]
You want to combine like terms. so -4.5y-3.2y=-7.7. so no it’ll look like 96-7.7y=5.6y+42.80.
no you’ll bring 96 to the other side so now it’s
-7.7y=5.6y-53.20
now you’ll bring 5.6y to the other side. -13.30y=-53.20. you want the variable by itself so do -13.30 divided by both sides
