Here’s my dilemma, I can accept a $1000 bill or play a game ten times. For each roll of the single die, I win $500 for rolling 1

or 2, I win $400 for rolling 3; and I lose $300 for rolling 4,5,or 6. Based on the expected value, I should accept the $1000 bill.

Answer:

you should accept the $1,000 bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

  • $500 for rolling 1 or 2
  • $400 for rolling 3
  • lose $300 for rolling 4,5,6

P (rolling 1 or 2) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

P (rolling a 3) = 1/6

P (rolling 4 or 5 or 6) = 3/6 = 1/2

Hence, the expected value for 1 time is:

E = (1/3)*500 + (1/6)*400 - (1/2)*300

E = $166 + $66 - $150

E = $82

Expected value is linear so if you roll the die 10 times, expected value is: 10*82 = $820

The expected value is $82, meaning you should accept the $1,000 bill

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that P(A \cap B) = .12.

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things:  PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

So

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
