A game of chance involves spinning a wheel with 4 number on it. The wheel is designed so that the result of each spin Xhas the f

ollowing probability distribution. 2 3 Result of a spin .x Probability : 0.50
(a) Find and interpret the mean of X.
(b) Find and interpret the standard deviation of x.
(c) It costs a player $5 for a single spin. The player will receive (in dollars) three times the number that appears. So the profit for one play of this game is Yeur 5. What is the mean and standard deviation of 7

Distribution table :

X : ___ 1 _____ 2 _____ 3 ______ 4

P(x) __0.50 __0.25 __ 0.15 ____ 0.10

Answer:

1.85 ; 1.014 ;` 0.55 ; 3.042

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution :

X : ___ 1 _____ 2 _____ 3 ______ 4

P(x) __0.50 __0.25 __ 0.15 ____ 0.10

The mean: E(x) = Σ(X * p(x))

(1*0.5) + (2*0.25) + (3*0.15) + (4 *0.10)

= 1.85

Standard deviation = sqrt(Var(x))

Var(x) = Σ(x²*p(x)) - E(x)²

Var(x) = ((1^2*0.5) + (2^2*0.25) + (3^2*0.15) + (4^2 *0.10)) - 1.85^2

= 4.45 - 3.4225

= 1.0275

Standard deviation = sqrt(1.0275)

Standard deviation = 1.0136567

Standard deviation(X) = 1.014

3.)

Cost of spin = $5

Amount, y to be received = 3 times the number that appears

y = 3x - cost of playing

y = 3x - 5

E(y) = E(3x - 5)

E(y) = E(3x) - 5

Recall :E(x) = 1.85

E(y) = 3(1.85) - 5

E(y) = 0.55

Standard deviation :Sd(y) =

Sd(3x - 5)

3(1.014)

= 3.042

grin007 [14]

Answer:

222 = score in 2nd game

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = score in 1st game

3/4(x) + 30 = score in 2nd game

x + 3/4(x) + 30 = 478         Multiply thru by 4 to eliminate the fraction

4x + 3x + 120 = 1912

7x + 120 = 1912

7x = 1792

x = 256

3/4(x) + 30 = 3/4(256) + 30

= 192 + 30

222 = score in 2nd game

Check:  222 + 256 = 478

butalik [34]

Answer:

D. Tenths

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you go behind the decimal, it starts out with tenths, then hundredths, and then thousandths. And 6 in the 1st spot behind the decimal so it's tenths.
