Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial has roots at
.
So, the equation should have factors of
.
This eliminates everything except for A.
( 'x' is not 144 .)
The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .
180 - x = 2/3 x
Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)
540 - 3x = 2x
Add 3x to each side:
540 = 5x
Divide each side by 5 :
<u>x = 108°</u> .
Answer:
The expected value of betting $500 on red is $463.7.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is not a fair game. This can be demostrated by the expected value of betting a sum of money on red, for example.
The expected value is calculated as:

being G the profit of each possible result.
If we bet $500, the possible outcomes are:
- <em>Winning</em>. We get G_w=$1,000. This happens when the roulette's ball falls in a red place. The probability of this can be calculated dividing the red slots (half of 36) by the total slots (38) of the roulette:
- <em>Losing</em>. We get G_l=$0. This happens when the ball does not fall in a red place. The probability of this is the complementary of winning, so we have:

Then, we can calculate the expected value as:

We expect to win $463.7 for every $500 we bet on red, so we are losing in average $36.3 per $500 bet.
