Answer:

The expected value is $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the expected value

Mathematically, what we have to do here is to multiply each of the probabilities by the pay out value, before we proceed to add up

We have this as;

0(0.5) + 0.2(5) + 0.15(8) + 10(0.1) + 15(0.05)

= 0 + 1 + 1.2 + 1 + 0.75 = 3.95

- 1/3 - (-1/2) what’s the answer? Someone please help!

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are subtracting a negative which is the same as adding. Our equation becomes -1/3+1/2. To add fractions we need a common denominator (the denominator of a fraction is the number on the bottom) To fine the least common denominator we need to find the lowest number that both 3 and 2 go into which is 6. Then we will multiply each fraction by the number that will give us 6 for a denominator which is 2 for -1/3 and 3 for 1/2. So -1/3 times 2 is -2/6 and 1/2 times 3 is 3/6. Our equation is now -2/6+3/6. Now we will add the numerators ( the numerator is the number on the top of the fraction) and the denominators stay the same when adding or subtraction fractions -2/6+3/6=1/6

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you are confused about or is still unclear, I will be happy to help!

Find the area of the figure.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

<em />

Explanation:

All you need to do is separately find the area of the shapes that are part of the figure (in this case the trapezoid and rectangle), and then add them all up.

1.(7x4) + (1/2x8[7+19])

2. 28 + 104

3. 132

Radioactive Waste The rate at which radioactive waste is entering the atmosphere at time t is decreasing and is given by Pe^-kt,

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {50e^{-0.04t}}\, dt}=1250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$T =\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {Pe^{-kt}} \, dt}$

where,

T = total amount of waste

P = 50, the initial rate

k = 0.04

t = time

$T =\displaystyle{\int^{\infty}_0 {50e^{-0.04t}} \, dt}$

now we need to solve this integral!

$T =\displaystyle{50\int^{\infty}_0 {e^{-0.04t}} \, dt}$

$T = \left|50\left(\dfrac{e^{-0.04t}}{-0.04}\right)\right|^{\infty}_0$

$T = \left|-1250e^{-0.04t}\right|^{\infty}_0$

$T = (-1250e^{-0.04(\infty)})-(-1250e^{-0.04(0)})$

when any number has a power of negative infinity it is 0. because: $a^-{\infty} = \dfrac{1}{a^{\infty}} = \dfrac{1}{\infty} = 0$ , like something being divided by a very large number!

$T = (-1250(0))-(-1250e^0)$

$T = 1250$

this is the total amount of waste
