Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number directly next to a given variable (typically 1 if there is no given number).

In this case, note the variable: -x

As stated above, the number is 1 if there is no number given. However, note that there is a negative sign, therefore, your coefficient is -1

-1 is your answer.

A scale for a scale drawing is 10 cm:1 mm. Which is larger, the actual object or scale drawing? Explain.

Marysya12 [62]

The correct answer is:

The scale drawing is larger.

Explanation:

A scale for a scale drawing is written as a ratio in the form
(scale size):(actual size).

For example, on a map you may have a scale that says 1 in: 2 mi. This means that 1 inch on the scale is equal to 2 miles on the map.

The scale for this problem is 10 cm: 1 mm. This means that 10 cm on the scale drawing represents 1 mm on the actual object.

10 cm is larger than 1 mm, so the scale drawing is larger.

Consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number,

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game is $\dfrac{1}{6} = 0.1667$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that consider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number, that many points will be added to the player’s total. Any other roll will be deducted from the player’s total.

Assuming that the numbered cube is a dice with numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Here, the prime numbers are = 1, 2, 3 and 5

Numbers which are not prime = 4 and 6

This means that if the dice got the number 1, 2, 3 or 5, then that many points will be added to the player’s total and if the dice got the number 4 or 6, then that many points will get deducted from the player’s total.

Here, we have to make a probability distribution to find the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game.

Note that the probability of getting any of the specific number on the dice is $\dfrac{1}{6}$ .

Numbers on the dice (X) P(X)

+1 $\frac{1}{6}$

+2 $\frac{1}{6}$

+3 $\frac{1}{6}$

-4 $\frac{1}{6}$

+5 $\frac{1}{6}$

-6 $\frac{1}{6}$

Here (+) sign represent the addition in the player's total and (-) sign represents the deduction in the player's total.

Now, the expected value of X, E(X) = $\sum X \times P(X)$

= $(+1) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+2) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+3) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-4) \times \frac{1}{6} +(+5) \times \frac{1}{6} +(-6) \times \frac{1}{6}$
