In a gambling game a person draws a single card from an ordinary 52-card playing deck. A person is paid $17 for drawing a jack o

r a queen and $5 for drawing a king or an ace. A person who draws any other card pays $2. If a person plays this game, what is the expected gain

Answer:

E.G=\$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size 52 card

Pay for J or Q =\$17

Pay for King or Ace =\$5

Pay for others =-\$2

Therefore

Probability of drawing J or Q

P(J&Q)=\frac{8}{52}

Probability or drawing King or Ace

P(K or A)=\frac{8}{52}

Probability or drawing Other cards

P(O)=\frac{36}{52}

Therefore

Expected Gain is mathematically given as

E.G=\sum_xP(x)

E.G=17*\frac{8}{52}+5*\frac{8}{52}+(-2)*\frac{36}{52}

E.G=\$2

(1 point) let a=⟨−4,−3,2⟩a=⟨−4,−3,2⟩. find a unit vector in the same direction as aa.
sergij07 [2.7K]
A unit vector in the direction of a would be the vector a multiplied by a factor such that the length of vector a is unity.
The magnitude of a is given by:
|a|
=sqrt(4^2+3^2+2^2)   [ I got lazy instead of writing (-4)^2+(-3)^2+2^2]
=sqrt(29).

So the univector is a/sqrt(29), or (-4/sqrt(29),-3/sqrt(29), 2/sqrt(29), or simply (-4,-3,2)/sqrt(29).

Neil and Nancy are married with two children at home and a mortgage. Neil's net pay per year is $56,000 and Nancy doesn't have a
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

their current cash flow is negative since their expenses are higher than their income:

  • monthly net income = $56,000 / 12 = $4,667
  • monthly expenses = $1,500 + $3,500 = $5,000
  • monthly cash flow = ($333)

they have 3 options:

  • Option 1 (which I personally dislike) is that Neil contributes $4,000 less per year to his retirement account in order to balance their net income and expenses. The problem is that once he retires, his income will be much lower.
  • Option 2 is that they lower their expenses a little bit, only enough to balance their cash flows.
  • Option 3 is that Nancy gets a part time job, maybe a couple of hours per day which will allow her to earn money that can be used to cover some expenses.

Personally I believe that option 2 is the best, but if they definitely cannot lower their monthly expenses, then option 3 would probably fit them.

A hyperbola centered at the origin has vertices at (± √33,0) and foci at (± √59,0).
oee [108]

Answer:

x^2/33 + y^2/26 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a hyperbola centered at the origin is:

x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1

The vertices are located at (±a, 0), so we have that the value of a is √33

The foci are located at (±c, 0), where c^2 = a^2 + b^2

So if we have that c = √59, we can find the value of b:

59 = 33 + b^2

b^2 = 26

b = √26

So the formula for this hyperbole is:

x^2/33 + y^2/26 = 1
