Answer:

- $0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

To win 3 heads must be obtained, the probability of this is:

p = (1/2) ^ 3 = 0.125

Now, let's review the other scenarios:

HHH -> 0.125

HHT

THH ----> p (2H, 1T) = 3 * 0125 = 0.375

HTH

HTT

TTH ----> p (1H, 2T) = 3 * 0125 = 0.375

THT

TTT -> 0.125

So the waiting value would be:

EV = 2 * 0.125 - 1 * 0.375 - 1 * 0.375 - 1 * 0.125

EV = - 0.625

That is to say that the waiting value is - $ 0.625

The outcome og 1 game cannot be predicted but 100 you loss because the expected value is negative

Why is it preferable to measure a penny in millimeters rather than centimeters or meters?
andrey2020 [161]
Pennies are small so, if would be more accurate and have whole numbers. If u measured with an inch or meter, u would get a fraction for an answer.

I've ordered this shed. It is 2 meters wide, 3.25 meters long and 2 meters tall to the roof line. From the roof line to the peak
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

18.2 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the measurements they give us, we assume that the shed has the shape of a rectangular prism, however, to calculate the amount of storage, we must calculate the volume.

The volume would be:

V = height * width * length

According to the statement height = 2, width = 2 and length = 3.25

V = 2 * 2 * 3.25

V = 13

That is, the volume of the shed is 13 cubic meters, but then they mention that the roof line to the peak is 0.8 meters high, which means that the volume can increase, the new volume would be changing the height = 2 + 0.8 = 2.8, the other values remain the same:

V = 2.8 * 2 * 3.25

V = 18.2

That is to say that when adding that part, the volume that is to say total amount of storage is 18.2 cubic meters.
