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

irina1246 [14]

Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.

Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.

From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."

From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."

Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.

Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.

Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.

I think we are in the same class lol

Step-by-step explanation:448 divided by 14= 32

448 divided by 16= 28

B=speed of boat in water

Y= Speed of current

B+y=32

B-y=28

32 + 28 =60

60 divided by 2 = 30

32 -30 =2

B=30
