Answer: The expected value is $0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value can be calculated as:

EV = ∑xₙ*pₙ

Where:

xₙ is the n-th event.

pₙ is the probability of the n-th event.

First, let's see the events in this situation and the probability of each event.

Lossing $1.

This happens when you roll all different numbers.

To calculate the number of combinations where you roll all different values, we first need to count the number of possible options for each roll, this is:

First dice: you have 6 options

Second dice: You have 5 options, because we remove the option that was rolled in the first dice.

Third dice: You have 4 options, because we removed the two outcomes showed in the two previous rolls.

Then the number of combinations is:

c = 6*5*4 = 120.

And the total number of combinations for rolling 3 dice is equal to the product between the number of outcomes for each dice, each dice has 6 possible outcomes, then the total number of outcomes is:

C = 6*6*6 = 216

The probability of rolling all different numbers will be equal to the quotient between the number of combinations where you roll all different values and the total number of combinations:

P₁ = 120/216 = 0.56

In the other case, where you roll at least two equal outcomes, you win $2.

The probability for this case will be the complement of the previous one, then the probability can be calculated as:

P₂ = 1 - P₁ = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44

Then the expected value will be:

EV = -$1*0.56 + $2*0.44 =  $0.32

The expected value is $0.32

You need to sell 250 candy bars at $2 each. If you meet your goal, the total amount of money you will have is measured in the __
ollegr [7]
Based on the given details you have given, the total amount of money that you will have will be measured in dollars ($). Since the given value is also in dollars which is $2, therefore, the total amount of money you will have is also in dollars which is 250 x $2 is $500 in total. Hope this answers the question.

Llana [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The vertex of the function is:

                             (-2,-2)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a absolute value function f(x) in terms of variable "x" as:

                       f(x)=-|x+2|-2

We know that for any absolute function of the general form:

f(x)=a|x-h|+k

the vertex of the function is : (h,k)

and if a<0 the graph of function opens downwards.

and if a>0 the graph of the function opens upwards.

Hence, here after comparing  the equation with general form of the equation we see that:

a= -1<0 , h= -2 and k= -2

Since a is negative , hence, the graph opens down .

         Hence, the vertex of the function is:

                         (-2,-2)

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x+1) = 25+x

open the bracket

9x + 9 = 25+x

collect like terms

9x-x = 25-9

8x = 16

x = 2

If f(x)= x^1/2 - x and g(x)= 2x^3 - x^1/2 - x, find f(x) - g(x)
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

-2x^3+2x^{1/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to substitute both functions into the equation to get:

f(x)-g(x) = (x^{1/2}-x) - (2x^3-x^{1/2}-x)

Then, you distribute the negative sign in front of g(x) to get:

= x^{1/2} - x -2x^3+x^{1/2}+x

And finally, you add/subtract the x's that have the same power to get:

=-2x^3+2x^{1/2}
