Answer:

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 25 % acid solution

y = 45% acid solution

x + y = 600

.25x + .45y = .30(600)

x + y = 600 (1)

.25x + .45y = 180 (2)

From (1)

x = 600 - y

Substitute x = 600 - y into (2)

.25x + .45y = 180

.25(600 - y) + .45y = 180

150 - .25y + .45y = 180

150 + .20y = 180

.20y = 180 - 150

.20y = 30

Divide both sides by .20

y = 30/0.20

= 150

y = 150ml

Substitute y = 150 into

x + y = 600

x + 150 = 600

x = 600 - 150

= 450

x = 450ml

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

Answer:

E(Y) = $0.5

Var(Y)  = 14.25

you should pay the same amount  $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

E(Y) =  = Σ(YP)

P = probability of each outcomes.

Var(Y) = ΣY^{2}p − (μ x μ)

E(Y) = (2 x 0.25) +(6 x 0.25) + (0.5 x (-3)) = $0.5

Var(Y) = (2^{2}\\x 0.25) + (6^{2} x 0.25) +(-3^{2} x 0.5) - (0.5^{2})

       = 14.5 - 0.25

Var(Y)  = 14.25

for the difference between the payoff and cost of playing to have mean 0, you should pay the same amount  $0.5
