Answer:
$23.8 million
Step-by-step explanation:
w = previous weekends earnings
16.2 = .68w
x = 16.2/0.68
x = 23.8
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 87.84, 85, and 100 you get 272.84. Once you divide that by 3 you get 90.946, which would be your test average if you score 100 on your next test.
Answer: -1
The negative value indicates a loss
============================================================
Explanation:
Define the three events
A = rolling a 7
B = rolling an 11
C = roll any other total (don't roll 7, don't roll 11)
There are 6 ways to roll a 7. They are
1+6 = 7
2+5 = 7
3+4 = 7
4+3 = 7
5+2 = 7
6+1 = 7
Use this to compute the probability of rolling a 7
P(A) = (number of ways to roll 7)/(number total rolls) = 6/36 = 1/6
Note: the 36 comes from 6*6 = 36 since there are 6 sides per die
There are only 2 ways to roll an 11. Those 2 ways are:
5+6 = 11
6+5 = 11
The probability for event B is P(B) = 2/36 = 1/18
Since there are 6 ways to roll a "7" and 2 ways to roll "11", there are 6+2 = 8 ways to roll either event.
This leaves 36-8 = 28 ways to roll anything else
P(C) = 28/36 = 7/9
-----------------------------
In summary so far,
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 1/18
P(C) = 7/9
The winnings for each event, let's call it W(X), represents the prize amounts.
Any losses are negative values
W(A) = amount of winnings if event A happens
W(B) = amount of winnings if event B happens
W(C) = amount of winnings if event C happens
W(A) = 18
W(B) = 54
W(C) = -9
Multiply the probability P(X) values with the corresponding W(X) values
P(A)*W(A) = (1/6)*(18) = 3
P(B)*W(B) = (1/18)*(54) = 3
P(C)*W(C) = (7/9)*(-9) = -7
Add up those results
3+3+(-7) = -1
The expected value for this game is -1.
The player is expected to lose on average 1 dollar per game played.
Note: because the expected value is not 0, this is not a fair game.
The answer is false. They are the same
The apple is cut into 10 pieces so each piece is 1/10 of the apple. 1/10=.1; .8=8/10 so 8 pieces are eaten. 2 pieces are left which is 2/10 of the apple which simplifies to 1/5 because 2 and 10 are both divisible by 2. 2 divided by itself is 1 and 10 divided by 2 is 5. So the amount of the apple left in simplest form of a fraction is 1/5.
