Answer:

The expected winnings of the player in one game = 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A blue die and a red die are thrown in a game. If the sum of the two numbers is 7 or 11, the player wins $10. If the sum of the two numbers is 12, then the player wins $20. In all other cases, the player loses a dollar.

To find - What are the expected winnings of the player in one game ?

Solution -

Given that,

A blue die and a red die are thrown in a game.

The Sample Space becomes -

S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)

       (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

       (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)

       (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)

       (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)

       (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (4, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) }

So,

n(S) = 36

Now,

Let A be the outcome that, the sum of the two numbers is 7 or 11

A = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2),  (6, 1)

       (6, 5), (5, 6) }

So,

n(A) = 8

So,

P(A) = n(A)/ n(S)

       = 8/ 36

       = 2/9

⇒P(A) = 2/9

Now,

Let B be the outcome that, the sum of the two numbers is 12

B = {(6, 6)}

So,

n(B) = 1

So,

P(B) = n(B)/ n(S)

       = 1/ 36

⇒P(B) = 1/36

Now,

Expected value, E(x) = ∑ x P(x)

                                  = 10 × P(A) + 12 × P(B)

                                  = 10 × 2/9 + 12 × 1/36

                                  = 20/9 + 12/36

                                  = (20×4 + 12)/36

                                  = (80 + 12)/36

                                  = 92/36

                                  = 2.55

⇒Expected value, E(x) = 2.55

∴ we get

The expected winnings of the player in one game = 2.55

Find x in this porportion 5/2x =25/4
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x = \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{5}{2x} = \frac{25}{4} ( cross- multiply )

25 × 2x = 5 × 4

50x = 20 ( divide both sides by 50 )

x = \frac{20}{50} = \frac{2}{5}

4. k/6 = 8/16 5. 5.4/7 = 27/h 6. 8/11 = 4/y+2
kupik [55]

Answer:

4. k=3\\

5. h=35

6. \frac{7}{2} or 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{k}{6}=\frac{8}{16}

Multiply those 2 values whose diagonal has both terms and divide by the term whose diagonal has the variable.

k=\frac{8*6}{16}\\ k=\frac{48}{16}\\ k=3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

\frac{5.4}{7}=\frac{27}{h}

h=\frac{7*27}{5.4} \\h=\frac{189}{5.4}\\ h=35

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

\frac{8}{11}=\frac{4}{y+2}

y+2=\frac{11*4}{8}\\ y=\frac{11*4}{8}-2\\y=\frac{44}{8}-2 \\y=\frac{11}{2}-2\\ y=\frac{11-2*2}{2}\\ y=\frac{11-4}{2}\\ y=\frac{7}{2}=3.5
