Answer:

x = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.

\therefore \frac{AB}{BC} =\frac{EF}{FG}... (1)

AB = BC.... (given)

\implies \frac{AB}{BC} = 1..... (2)

From equations (1) & (2)

1 =\frac{EF}{FG}

{FG}={EF}

Therefore,

7x - 9 = 2x + 7

7x - 2x = 9 + 7

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2

At a raffle, 1500 tickets are sold at $2 each. There are four prizes given for $500, $250, $150, and $75. You buy one ticket. Us
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<u>The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of tickets sold at the raffle = 1,500

Price of each ticket = $ 2

Total prizes = 1 * $ 500 + 1 * $ 250 + 1 * $ 150 + 1 * $ 75

2. Use a probability distribution table to calculate the expected value of your gain. Your expected value is_____ ?

Let's answer the question using a probability distribution for the gains, this way:

  • Probability of 1st prize of $ 498 (500 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 2nd prize of $ 248 (250 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 3rd prize of $ 148 (150 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of 4th prize of $ 73 (75 - ticket) = 1/1,500
  • Probability of losing $ 2 (ticket) = 1,496/1,500

Now, we calculate the mean for all the tickets (winners and non-winners), this way:

Expected value = [(1,496 * -2) + (1 * 498) + (1 * 248) + ( 1 * 148) + ( 1 * 73)]/1,500

Expected value = [- 2,992 +498 + 248 + 148 + 73)/1,500

Expected value = -2,025/1,500 = - 1,35

<u>The expected value of every ticket is a loss of $ 1.35</u>

DO,K = (5, 0) (10, 0) The scale factor is 1/2 2 5
Lapatulllka [165]
If the preimage point is (5,0) and the image point is (10,0)
then the scale factor is k = 2

Basically the coordinates of the old point have doubled (multiplied by 2)

x = 5 is the old x coordinate
x = 10 is the new x coordinate (5*2 = 10)

y = 0 is the old y coordinate
y = 0 is the new y coordinate (0*2 = 0, no change)
