Answer: The expected value of this game is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Give that
If it's black, you lose a point. If it's red, you gain a point.
And then you can stop at any time. But you should never stop when you are losing because that can guarantee 0 by drawing all the cards.
Assuming you should stop after three cards when you are +2.
The only question is whether to draw if you are +1 on the first draw.
If you draw red first, You have 1/3 chance of drawing red again and this will give you +2 points
1/3 chance of drawing two blacks and earn zero point, chance of drawing black-red and earn +1. This gives +1, so it doesn't matter whether you draw or not.
From the beginning, If you draw red (probability 1/2 you end +1. If you draw black and then draw two reds (probability 1/6 you end +1) Otherwise you break even with probability 1/3. Overall, the value is 2/3
Answer:
Y-1=5/3(x-3) (aka b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5in x 10in
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
1. You have to assume that the ring will land on the board and as a result, just focus on one rectangle of the board since they are all the same size.
2. For the ring to land entirely inside the rectangle, the center of the ring needs to be 1.5 inches inside the border (radius is 1.5 inches), so the "winning rectangle" will have dimensions:
L = (x - 2(1.5)) = x - 3
w = (2x - 2(1.5)) = 2x-3.
3. Now, we will set up and solve our geometric probability equation. The winning rectangle's area of (x-3)*(2x-3) divided by the total rectangle's area of x*(2x) = 28%
(2x-3)*(x-3)/(2x^2) = .28
2x^2 - 9x + 9 = .56x^2
1.44x^2 - 9x + 9 = 0
4 . Now you can plug that in the quadratic formula and get the solutions x = 1.25 or 5. However, it cannot by 1.25 because that is too small of a dimension for the the circle with diameter of 3 to fit in, the answers has to be 5.
5. As a result, the dimensions of the rectangles are 5in x 10in.
Solve your equation step-by-step.
2s+s+12=132
Simplify both sides of the equation.
2s+s+12=132
Simplify:
3s+12=132
Subtract 12 from both sides.
3s+12−12=132−12
3s=120
Divide both sides by 3.
3s/3 = 120/3
s=40
