Answer:
<u>y = -x² + 4</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the parabola in the vertex form is:
y = a (x-h)² + k
Where: (h,k) the coordinates of the vertex & a is a multiplier
The parabola has a vertex at ( 0,4 )
So, h = 0 , k = 4
∴ y = a (x-0)² + 4
∴ y = a x² + 4
The parabola passes through points ( 2,0 )
∴ 0 = a 2² + 4
∴ 4 a = -4 ⇒ a = -4/4 = -1
∴ y = -x² + 4
So, the equation of a parabola that has a vertex at ( 0,4 ) and passes through points ( 2,0 ) is <u>y = -x² + 4</u>

Answer:
The expected net winnings for the bet are -$1.0526
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x =+$20) = P(Black outcome) = 18/38
P(x =-$20) = P(red outcome) + P(green outcome)
= 18/38 + 2/38 = 20/38
Hence the probability distribution of x = $20 , P(x) = 18/38
x = -$20, P(x) = 20/38
Expected value of the random variable x is given by ;
miu = Summation [xP(x)] = 20(18/38) - 20( 20/38)
= -$1.0526
hence, the expected net winnings for the bet are -$1.0526
This implies that if a player bet on a very large number of games, the player would on the average lose $1.0526 per single bet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of the bag of sand with an unknown weight be given as "x" pounds. Then, the difference between the weight of an average bag of sand which is given to be as 22.3 pounds, is given as 
. Therefore, the absolute value function describing the difference between the weight of an average bag of sand and a bag of sand with an unknown weight will be given as: 
.
Let us represent this by f(x) or y. And thus, we get:
2+4q=20
4q=18
q=9/2
