Answer: the expected value of Tom's payoff is m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question,

E[x] = mp                                        

where p = 1/2

Now Tom gets payoff pounds until a tail first appears = 2m pounds

so

E[x] = m × 1/2 × 2m

E[x] = m²

Therefore the expected value of Tom's payoff is m²

Indicate whether the function represents an exponential growth or decay.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1) decay

2) growth

3) growth

Step-by-step explanation:

A generic exponential function can be written as:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A is the initial amount of something.

r is the rate of growth.

x is the variable, usually, represents time.

if r > 1, we have an exponential growth.

if r < 1, we have an exponential decay.

1) f(x) = (3/4)^x

in this case we have:

A = 1

r = (3/4) = 0.75

Clearly, r < 1.

Then this is an exponential decay.

2) f(x) = (1/6)*4^x

In this case we have:

A = (1/6)

r = 4

Here we have r > 1.

Then this is an exponential growth.

3) f(x) = (1/4)*(5/2)^x

in this case we have:

A = 1/4

r = 5/2 = 2.5

here we have r > 1, then this is an exponential growth.

Which is the better buy, $8.47 for 7 pounds of apples or $11.07 for 9 pounds? Explain
kogti [31]
8.47/7=1.21 per lb. 11.07/9=1.23 so $8.47 for 7lbs. is cheaper than 11.07 for 9lbs.
