Answer:

To expect a profit in the long run, we have to charge more than $1.73 per play.

Step-by-step explanation:

We hace a roulette wit 37 slots.

One is green, eighteen are red and eighteen are black.

The expected pay for the gambler can be calculated as the sum of the probability of getting green, red or black multiplied by the respective pay.

E(g)=\sum p_iG_i=p_gG_g+p_rG_r+p_bG_b\\\\\\E(g)=\dfrac{1}{37}(10)+\dfrac{18}{37}(1)+\dfrac{18}{37}(2)\\\\\\E(g)=\dfrac{10+18+36}{37}=\dfrac{64}{37}\approx1.73

If $1.73 per play is the expected pay that will receive the gambler, we have to charge at least this amount to make sure we will make a profit in the long run.

PetSmart.com sold the following varieties of dog food in June 2003.
aivan3 [116]

Let x  be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He  wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then

20x+17.5y+30z=300.

Now

  • in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
  • in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
  • in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
  • in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.

Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.

You get a system

\left\{\begin{array}{l}20x+17.5y+30z=300\\4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation z=10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4x+4.725y+7.5(10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y)=66.

Simplify it:

-x+\dfrac{7}{20}y=-9,\\ \\ 20x-7y=180.

y must be divided by 20, then

  • y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
  • y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
  • y=40, x=23,  z is not a whole number;
  • y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
  • thus, all other possible z will be <0.

Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.
