You are given 3 to 1 odds against tossing three tails with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$3 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if

you fail. Find the expected value​ (to you) of the game. Would you expect to win or lose money in 1​ game? In 100​ games? Explain. Find the expected value​ (to you) for the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
  • your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
  • Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
  • Probability(x)=P(x)\\P(0)=\frac{1}{8} \\P(1)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(2)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(3)=\frac{1}{8}
  • The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
  • E(X)=(0)(0.125)+(1)(0.375)+(2)(0.375)+(3)(0.125)=1.5
  • Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
  • So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
  • But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games

How do i do this and tell me how u got the answer

Substitute.
2x+(2x -15) = -3

4x -15 = -3
Add 15 to both sides

4x = 12

Divide by 4

X=3

2(3) + y = -3

6+y=-3
-6 from both sides
Y=-9

(3,-9)

The function f(t) = 5 cos(pi over 6t) + 7 represents the tide in Stanley Sea. It has a maximum of 12 feet when time (t) is 0 and
Juliette [100K]
The function for the height is
f(t) = 5cos( \frac{ \pi }{6} t)+7

f(0) = 5 cos(0) + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12  (verified)
The period is T  = 12 hours.

After 4 hours (t = 4), the height is
f(4) = 5cos( \frac{ 4\pi }{6} )+7 = 5*(-0.5)+7=4.5

A graph of f(t) confirms the answer.

Answer: 4.5 ft

Question 1
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The maximum volume of space that 1,000 BTUs will cool is 400 cubic foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A total of 1,000 BTUs are needed to cool a space. If 2.5 BTUs are needed to cool 1 cubic foot of space.

To find : What is the maximum volume of space that 1,000 BTUs will cool?

Solution :

Applying unitary method,

2.5 BTU are needed to cool 1 cubic foot of space.

So, 1 BTU are needed to cool \frac{1}{2.5} cubic foot of space.

Then,1000 BTU are needed to cool \frac{1}{2.5}\times 1000 cubic foot of space.

i.e. 1000 BTU are needed to cool 400 cubic foot of space.

Therefore, the maximum volume of space that 1,000 BTUs will cool is 400 cubic foot.
