<h3>Answer:  Choice D)  -$22</h3>

You'll lose on average $22 per roll.

====================================================

Explanation:

Normally there is a 1/6 chance to land on any given side of a standard die, but your friend has loaded the die in a way to make it have a 40% chance to land on "1" and an equal chance to land on anything else. Since there's a 40% chance to land on "1", this leaves 100% - 40% = 60% for everything else.  

Let's define two events

  • A = event of landing on "1".
  • B = event of landing on anything else (2 through 6).

So far we know that P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.60; I'm using the decimal form of each percentage.

The net value of event A, which I'll denote as V(A), is -100 since you pay $100 when event A occurs. So we'll write V(A) = -100. Also, we know that V(B) = 30 and this value is positive because you receive $30 if event B occurs.

To recap things so far, we have the following:

  • P(A) = 0.40
  • P(B) = 0.60
  • V(A) = -100
  • V(B) = 30

Multiply the corresponding probability and net value items together

  • P(A)*V(A) = 0.40*(-100) = -40
  • P(B)*V(B) = 0.60*30 = 18

Then add up those products:

-40+18 = -22

This is the expected value, and it represents the average amount of money you earn for each dice roll. So you'll lose on average about $22. Because the expected value is not zero, this means this game is not mathematically fair.

This does not mean that any single die roll you would lose $22; instead it means that if you played the game say 1000 or 10,000 times, then averaging out the wins and losses will get you close to a loss of $22.

Answer:

\large\boxed{x\in\left(-\dfrac{13}{3},\ \infty\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+1)+4>x-5\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\4x+4+4>x-5\\\\4x+8>x-5\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\4x>x-13\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\3x>-13\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x>-\dfrac{13}{3}\to x\in\left(-\dfrac{13}{3},\ \infty\right)
