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

david quiere saber cuanto requiere invertir mensualmente para obtener $30,760.08 durante 6 meses si los invierte con el 12% capi
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

A = $32,652.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Principal (P) = 30,760.08, Annual Rate (R) = 12%, Time (t in years) = 0.5

To find: How much David needs to invest monthly

Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^n^t

Solution: To find, simply add principal + interest

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 12/100

r = 0.12 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 30,760.08(1 + 0.12/12)(12)(0.5)

A = 30,760.08(1 + 0.01)(6)

A = $32,652.44

Therefore;  

The total amount David will obtain with 30,760.08 for 6 months, 12%is $32,652.44.

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. When the digits are reversed, the new number is 9 more than the original numbe
Paul [167]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  d.  45

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check the offered answers. You will find that the difference from reversing the digits will only be 9 if the digits differ by 9/9 = 1.

The original number is 45.

__

<em>Check</em>

  45 + 9 = 54 . . . with the digits reversed

20 points!!!!! The table represents a linear function
Darya [45]
I believe the answer is 5. I multiplied 5 to -4 and that’s -20 and I’m guessing since slope-intercept form is y=Mx+b I’m thinking b=4 and the slope being 5 matches the output. -16=5(-4)+4

A car rental agency has 150 cars. The owner finds that at a price of $48 per day, he can rent all the cars. For each $2 increase
hram777 [196]
Given that for each <span>$2 increase in price, the demand is less and 4 fewer cars are rented.

Let x be the number of $2 increases in price, then the revenue from renting cars is given by
(48 + 2x) \times (150 - 4x)=7,200+108x-8x^2.

Also, given that f</span><span>or each car that is rented, there are routine maintenance costs of $5 per day, then the total cost of renting cars is given by
5(150-4x)=750-20x

Profit is given by revenue - cost.
Thus, the profit from renting cars is given by
</span><span>(7,200+108x-8x^2)-(750-20x)=6,450+128x-8x^2

For maximum profit, the differentiation of the profit function equals zero.
i.e.
</span><span>\frac{d}{dx} (6,450+128x-8x^2)=0 \\  \\ 128-16x=0 \\  \\ x= \frac{128}{16} =8

The price of renting a car is given by 48 + 2x = 48 + 2(8) = 48 + 16 = 64.

Therefore, the </span><span>rental charge will maximize profit is $64.</span>
