Answer:

Expected value = -0.2101

Step-by-step explanation :

Givena discrete variable the expected value is given as:

E(x) = xp(x) + yp(y)

Where x and y are the values the variables can assume, and p(x) and p(y) are their respective probabilities.

Probability that a player gets 6 at least twice = p(x ≥ 2) = 1 - p(x≤ 2)

= 1 - p(0) - p(1)

But p(0) = 0.3349

p(1) = 0.4018

p(x ≥ 2) = 1 - 0.3349 - 0.4018

= 0.2633

p(y) = 1 - p(x)

= 1 - 0.2633

= 0.7367

Expected value = 2(0.2633) + (-1)(0.7367)

= -0.2101

A loss of $0.2101 is expected.

Answer:

E(x)=-0.2101

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value for a discrete variable is calculated as:

E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)

Where x_1 and x_2 are the values that the variable can take and p(x_1) and p(x_2) are their respective probabilities.

So, a player can win 2 dollars or looses 1 dollar, it means that x_1 is equal to 2 and x_2 is equal to -1.

Then, we need to calculated the probability that the player win 2 dollars and the probability that the player loses 1 dollar.

If there are n identical and independent events with a probability p of success and a probability (1-p) of fail, the probability that a events from the n are success are equal to:

P(a)=nCa*p^a*(1-p)^{n-a}

Where nCa=\frac{n!}{a!(n-a)!}

So, in this case, n is number of times that the player tosses a die and p is the probability to get a 6. n is equal to 6 and p is equal to 1/6.

Therefore, the probability  p(x_1) that a player get at least two times number 6, is calculated as:

p(x_1)=P(x\geq2)=1-P(0)-P(1) \\\\P(0) =6C0*(1/6)^{0}*(5/6)^{6}=0.3349\\P(1)=6C1*(1/6)^{1}*(5/6)^{5}=0.4018\\\\p(x_1)=1-0.3349-0.4018\\p(x_1)=0.2633

On the other hand, the probability p(x_2) that a player don't get  at least two times number 6, is calculated as:

p(x_2)=1-p(x_1)=1-0.2633=0.7367

Finally, the expected value of the amount that the player wins is:

E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)\\E(x)=2*(0.2633)+ (-1)*0.7367\\E(x)=-0.2101

It means that he can expect to loses 0.2101 dollars.

Anni [7]

Since the person didn't write the answer choices they were:

A. On average, city A was warmer than city B.

B. The median and mode are different for city B.

C. The temperature range between the maximum and minimum values for city A is greater than the temperature range between the maximum and minimum values for city B.

D. The median is less for city A than for city B.

I believe it is A personally cause i took the test and got it right
