Expected value of the bet is
the sum of the products of value of outcome and its probability,
less the amount paid to place the bet.
Outcomes value probability
win 225 1/4
lose 0 3/4
cost of bet = 40
So expected value of bet
E[X]=225*(1/4)+0*(3/4)-40
=56.25-40
=16.25
This means that in the long run, gambler will win, since the expected value is positive. (does NOT mean she will win in the next bet!)
Answer: 41 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
so, we know that a triangle is 180 degrees. since we know that one angle is 80 degrees, we can subtract that from the equation. now, we are trying to find what X is so that we can find the angle. here is how i did it:
i rewrote it and removed the parentheses.
4x + 1 + 4x + 19 = 100
then, i collected like terms and calculated it.
8x + 20 = 100
then, i moved the constant to the right.
8x = 100 - 20
then, i simply calculated it.
8x = 10
solution: x = 10
so, we just insert X into the angle for A. that gets us 4(10) + 1 = angle A
40 + 1 = angle A, hence angle A = 41 degrees.
Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
Answer:
ithe answer to your question is going to be c
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Bob ran the first part of a 12 km race at a speed of 8 kmph. He ran the second part of the
race at 10 kmph. If his total time for the entire race was 1.74 hours, how far did he run in
the first part of the race?
First part :
Total Distance = 12 km
First part Speed = 8kmph
Let distance covered on first part = x
Second part speed = 10kmhr
(8*x)
