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

At a particular restaurant, 62% of all customers order an appetizer and 41% of all customers order dessert. If 69% of all custom
jekas [21]

Answer:

In terms of probablity (A - appetizer oredered, B - desert ordered)

P(A)=63%

P(B)=40%

P(AorB)=76%.

Using the formula:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A&B) we get P(A&B)=63%+40%-76%=27% (probability we were looking for).

Gary earns $12 an hour plus $16 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week
hoa [83]

Part A.

Amount of money earned = Regular rate per hour * Number of working hours

M = 12 x

 

Part B.

Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour * Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess working hours

T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y

T = 360 + 16 y

or

T = 16 y + 360

 

Part C.

Given T = 408, find y:

408 = 16 y + 360

y = 3 hrs

Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week is,

<span>x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs        </span>

<span>(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working hours)</span>
