What you're seeing here is 12 being multiplied by its reciprocal. 12 * 1/12 = 1. This is an example of a multiplicative inverse; a multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 over the number).
Answer:
The expected value of the safe bet equal $0
Step-by-step explanation:
If
is a finite numeric sample space and
for k=1, 2,..., n
is its probability distribution, then the expected value of the distribution is defined as
What is the expected value of the safe bet?
In the safe bet we have only two possible outcomes: head or tail. Woodrow wins $100 with head and “wins” $-100 with tail So the sample space of incomes in one bet is
S = {100,-100}
Since the coin is supposed to be fair,
P(X=100)=0.5
P(X=-100)=0.5
and the expected value is
E(X) = 100*0.5 - 100*0.5 = 0
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
because the line has to run through the origin, so that is non-proportional.
hope this helps!
We are given with
dimensions of wheelbarrow = 2ft x 3ft x 1.5 ft
dimensions of truck = 11 ft x 8 ft x 6 ft
The volume of the wheelbarrow is 2(3)(1.5) = 9 ft3
The volume of the truck is 11(8)(6) = 528 ft3
70% of this is
528 ft3 (0.7) = 369.6 ft3
Dividing this by the volume of the wheelbarrow
369.6 ft3 / 9 ft3 = 41.07
He would need to use the wheelbarrow 42 times.
