Unless told otherwise, the center ofrotation<span> is the </span>origin<span> (0, 0).</span>
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have the following points through which the line passes:
We find the slope of the line:
Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find b:
Finally, the equation is:
Answer:
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
Remember, in order for this equation to be true either one of the polynomials has to equal 0
So:
-> x+6 = 0
x=-6
-> 2x-5 = 0
2x= 5
x= 5/2
So the answer is x=-6 and x= 5/2.
Hope this helps!
