A game involves drawing a single card from a standard deck. One receives 60 cents for an ace, 30 cents for a king, and 5 cents f

or a red card that is neither an ace nor a king. If the cost of each draw is 10 cents, what is the expected value?

Answer:

The expected game value is -1 cent

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the expected value of the game

We have 4 aces and 4 kings, including 26 red cards

The number of aces is 4

Probability of drawing an ace is 4/52 = 1/13

Probability of drawing a king is also 4/52 = 1/13

There are 26 red cards

The number of red cards that are neither ace nor king

There are 2 red aces and 2 red kings

So the number of cards that are red but are not

aces nor kings are 26-2-2 = 22

The probability of selecting this is 22/52 = 11/26

So the expected value is simply the probability multiplied by the amount

Thus, we have;

(60 * 1/13) + (30 * 1/13) + (5 * 11/26)

= 60/13 + 30/13 + 55/26

= (120 + 60 + 55)/26 = 9.038 cents which is approximately 9 cents

we subtract this from the 10 cents we are playing with, thus we are left with 9-10 = -1 cent

Roderick is counting the change on his dresser. he has twice as many pennies as he does dimes. he has twice the amount of dimes
melamori03 [73]
P = 2d
d = 2n.....n = 1/2d
q = d - 3

since dimes is mentioned in relation to  quarters, pennies, and the nickels, u would use d as ur variable

ur expression would be : d + (2d) + (1/2d) + (d - 3) = total amount of coins...then u would solve for d, the number of dimes. And once u know that, u can sub that answer back into ur original equations to find the number of pennies, quarters and nickels

Contact [7]

Answer:  a. n= 1068

b. n= 164

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size :

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z^{*}}{E})^2

, where p=prior population proportion , z* = critical z-value and E = Margin of error.

Here , let p=proportion of computers that use a new operating system.

Given : Confidence level = 95%

i.e. z* = 1.96  [by z-table]

Margin of error : E = 3% =0.03

a. If p is unknown , then we assume p=0.5

Then, n=(0.5)(1-0.5)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=1067.11111\approx1068

i.e. n= 1068

b. p=0.96

Then, n=(0.96)(1-0.96)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=163.908266667\approx164

i.e. n= 164.

There are 4,000 undergraduates registered at a certain college. Of them, 364 are taking one course, 496 are taking two courses,
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

X=1, P = 0.091

X=2, P = 0.124

X=3, P = 0.115

X=4, P = 0.378

X=5, P = 0.264

X=6, P = 0.028

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability distribution of X, first we have to define the sample space.

In this case X=1,2,3,4,5,6. This are the values that X can take.

The probability is calculated as equal to the relative frequency of each of the values.

For X=1, P = 364/4000 = 0.091

For X=2, P = 496/4000 = 0.124

For X=3, P = 460/4000 = 0.115

For X=4, P = 1512/4000 = 0.378

For X=5, P = 1056/4000 = 0.264

For X=6, P = 112/4000 = 0.028
