A deck of cards contains 52 cards, of which 4 are aces. You are offered the following wager: Draw one card at random from the de

ck. You win $10 if the card drawn is an ace. Otherwise, you lose $1. If you make this wager very many times, what will be the mean amount you win?

Answer:

-$0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given win = $10, and loss = $-1

This deck of cards has 4 aces out of a total of 52 cards.

Then the probability can be explained as the number of favorable outcome/number of what is the possible outcome.

P(win) = number of favorable outcome/number of possible outcome

= 4/52

= 1/13

P(loss) = number of favorable outcome/number of possible outcome

= 48/52

= 12/13

Then we have

$10x1/13 + (-1)x12/13

= 10/13-12/13

= -2/13 dollars

= -$0.15

in a parking lot of 240 red and blue cars, the ratio of red cars to blue cars is 3: 5. How many red cars are in the parking lot?

butalik [34]

Answer:

90 red cars, 150 blue cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 240 by 8. 8 comes from the 3:5 ratio (3+5). 240/8=30. 30x3=90, 30x5=150.

Give the largest interval over which the general solution is defined. (Think about the implications of any singular points. Ente

Leto [7]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

No singular point due to the exponent in the solution

The interval is $-\infty$

b

NONE

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 9y$

The generally solution is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dy }{dx} = 9y$

=> $\frac{dy}{y} = 9dx$

integrating both sides

$\int\limits {\frac{ dy}{y} } \, = \int\limits {9} \, dx$

=> $lny = 9x + c$

=> $y = e^{9x +c }$

=> $y = e^{9x} e^{c}$

Here $e^c = C$

=> $y = C e^{9x}$

From the above equation we see that the domain for x has no singular point the interval is

$-\infty$

Also there is no transient term in the general solution obtained because as $x \to \infty$ there no case where $y \to 0$

A right triangle has a side of length 1 fourth and a hypotenuse of length 1 third. What is the length of the other side?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The other side = $\frac{1}{12}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has a side of length $\frac{1}{4}$ units and;

the hypotenuse is $\frac{1}{3}$

According to Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the two legs of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Lets say a² = $(\frac{1}{4}) ^2$ and c² = ( $(\frac{1}{3} )^2$

b² = c² - a²

b² = $\frac{1}{9}$ - $\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{1}{144}$

So b = $\sqrt{1/144}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ units.

So the other side = $\frac{1}{12}$ units.
