Answer:

Expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Consider a game in which players draw playing cards one at a time from a standard 52-card deck. If a player draws a face card (a jack, a queen, or a king), the player is awarded 16 points. Any other card drawn earns the player 3 points.

To find -  What is the expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn?

Formula used -

Expected value, E[x] = ∑ x p(x)

where p(x) is the probability

Proof -

Total cards in a standard deck = 52

Total face cards = 12 (a jack, a queen, or a king)

Other cards = 40

Now,

Probability of getting a face card = \frac{12}{52}

Probability of getting a other card = \frac{40}{52}

So,

Expected value, E[x] = ∑ x p(x)

                                  = (16)(\frac{12}{52}) + (3)(\frac{40}{52})

                                  = \frac{192}{52} + \frac{120}{52}

                                  = \frac{312}{52}

                                  = 6

∴ we get

Expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn = 6

So,

The correct option is - B. 6 points

Which is equivalent to √3/√8 when denominator is "rationalized"?
TEA [102]

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt8}=\dfrac{\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt2}{\sqrt8\cdot\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3\cdot2}}{\sqrt{8\cdot2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt6}{\sqrt{16}}=\dfrac{\sqrt6}{4}

<h3>Used:</h3>

\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \wedge\ b\geq0\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff b^2=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \wedge\ b\geq0\\\\\sqrt{16}=4\ \text{because}\ 4^2=16

An angle measures 84° What is the measure of its supplement?
Lesechka [4]

<u>Answer:</u>

Supplement of 84° is 96°

Complement of 54° is 36°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1<u>) A supplementary angle is two angles that add up to 180°</u>

so to find the supplement of 84° ⇒  180°- 84° = 96°

2) <u>A complementary angle is two angles that add up to 90°</u>

so to find the complement of 54° ⇒ 90°- 54° = 36°
