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

Y+9÷2=y-3÷4-(y/3)<br>pls help​
Ann [662]

Answer:

y = - \frac{63}{4} or - 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations.

y + \frac{9}{2} = y - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3} Subtract y from each side.

y - y + \frac{9}{2} = y - y - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{9}{2} =  - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}   Add \frac{3}{4} to each side

\frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}    Find the common denominator for \frac{9}{2} and \frac{3}{4}, which is 4

\frac{9}{2} * \frac{2}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{18}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{21}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}   Multiply each side by 3

\frac{21}{4}  * 3 = - \frac{y}{3} * 3

\frac{63}{4} = - y      Divide each side by -1

y = - \frac{63}{4} = - 15 \frac{3}{4}

y = - 15.75

sonja wants to have $14000 in 13 years. calculate how much she should invest now at 6% interest, compounded semiannually in orde
mariarad [96]
She should invest $6491.73.

The equation we use to solve this is in the form
A=p(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, 
where A is the total amount in the account, p is the principal invested, r is the interest rate as a decimal, n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, and t is the amount of time.

A in our problem is 14000.
p is unknown.
r is 6% = 6/100 = 0.06.
n is 2, since it is compounded semiannually.
t  is 13.

14000=p(1+\frac{0.06}{2})^{13*2}&#10;\\&#10;\\14000=p(1+0.03)^{26}&#10;\\&#10;\\14000=p(1.03)^{26}&#10;\\&#10;\\\text{Dividing both sides by }1.03^{26}\text{, we have}&#10;\\&#10;\\\frac{14000}{1.03^{26}}=\frac{p(1.03)^{26}}{1.03^{26}}&#10;\\&#10;\\6491.73\approx p
