Complete question :

Suppose someone gives you 8 to 2 odds that you cannot roll two even numbers with the roll of two fair dice. This means you win $8 if you succeed and you lose $2 if you fail. What is the expected value of this game to​ you? What can you expect if you play 100 times.

Answer:

$0.5 ; win $50 with 100 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

From a roll of two fair dice; probability of obtaining an even number :

Even numbers = (2, 4, 6) = 3

P = 3 /6 = 1 /2

For 2 fair dice ; probability of rolling two even numbers : independent event.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

Hence, p(success) = 1/4 ; P(failure) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Probability table

Winning = $8 or loss = - $2

X : ____ 8 ______ - 2

P(x) __ 1/4 ______ 3/4

Expected value : E(x) = ΣX*P(x)

E(x) = (8 * 1/4) + (-2 * 3/4)

E(x) = 2 - 1.5

E(x) = $0.5

Since expected value is positive, the expect to win

If played 100 times;

Expected value = 100 * $0.5 = $50

Answer:

Very last choice is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The thing that is most important is that the horizontal line connect h and the radius is parallel to the cut of the sphere if it was placed right in the middle. That line swings around as though the center was a pivot.

Solution

  • So what you have is a circle when that line goes around that part of the sphere.
  • To find the length of that line, use the Pythagorean Theorem. Call the line r1.
  • r1 ^2 = r^2 - h^2
  • So the area is pi * r1^2
  • Area = pi (r^2 - h^2)
  • The very last one is the answer.
