Answer:
-$13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.
- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.
- there is a charge of $9 to play the game
If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36
If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9
Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)
Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6
Thus;
E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)
E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))
E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)
E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2
E(X) = -3/2
This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5
Answer: 1,4 is the answer
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 4 = 8
Absolute value means no symbols so it would just be 2 x something equals 8 which is 4.
Answer:
10m x 15m
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given some information.
1. The area of the garden: A₁ = 150m²
2. The area of the path: A₂ = 186m²
3. The width of the path: 3m
If the garden has width w and length l, the area of the garden is:
(1) A₁ = l * w
The area of the path is given by:
(2) A₂ = 3l + 3l + 3w + 3w + 4*3*3 = 6l + 6w + 36
Multiplying (2) with l gives:
(3) A₂l = 6l² + 6lw + 36l
Replacing l*w in (3) with A₁ from (1):
(4) A₂l = 6l² + 6A₁ + 36l
Combining:
(5) 6l² + (36 - A₂)l +6A₁ = 0
Simplifying:
(6) l² - 25l + 150 = 0
This equation can be factored:
(7) (l - 10)*(l - 15) = 0
Solving for l we get 2 solutions:
l₁ = 10, l₂ = 15
Using (1) to find w:
w₁ = 15, w₂ = 10
The two solutions are equivalent. The garden has dimensions 10m and 15m.
