<h3>Answer:   Choice C)    9/100</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

We have these two events

  • A = the coin lands on tails
  • B = the number cube (aka dice) lands on '2'

The experimental (aka empirical) probabilities of each are

  • P(A) = 36/80 = 9/20
  • P(B) = 16/80 = 1/5

Note how P(A) is not 1/2 like we expect; however it's fairly close because 9/20 = 0.45 while 1/2 = 0.5 in slight contrast. The experimental probability never 100% lines up with the theoretical probability, but will get closer as you do more trials (due to the law of large numbers). A similar situation happens with P(B). The theoretical probability would be P(B) = 1/6 = 0.1667

Events A and B are independent, which allows us to multiply the probabilities:

P(A and B) = probability of getting tails and rolling a '2'

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A and B) = (9/20)*(1/5)

P(A and B) = (9*1)/(20*5)

P(A and B) = 9/100 which points the answer to choice C

--------------

Slight alternative method:

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) = (36/80)*(16/80) = 0.09 = 9/100

this method involves typing (36/80)*(16/80) into your calculator.

How do you do this question?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

-$0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the sum of the outcomes multiplied by their probabilities.

E(X) = 1/38 (+68) + 37/38 (-2)

E(X) = -0.16
