Answer:
you should accept the $1,000 bill
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the information:
- $500 for rolling 1 or 2
- $400 for rolling 3
- lose $300 for rolling 4,5,6
P (rolling 1 or 2) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
P (rolling a 3) = 1/6
P (rolling 4 or 5 or 6) = 3/6 = 1/2
Hence, the expected value for 1 time is:
E = (1/3)*500 + (1/6)*400 - (1/2)*300
E = $166 + $66 - $150
E = $82
Expected value is linear so if you roll the die 10 times, expected value is: 10*82 = $820
The expected value is $82, meaning you should accept the $1,000 bill
Answer:
a number less then 6 is the anser so the 1st one
Answer:
3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/4÷1/3
so,
= 5 1/4×3/1
= 5 × 0.75
= 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
to compare them, we should all bring to the same denominator.
the lcm (lowest common multiplier) is the that denominator.
let's use the approach of the prime factors :
3 : 3
5 : 5
32 : 2×2×2×2×2
24 : 2×2×2×3
the lcm is the combination of the longest "streaks" of the prime factors.
so,
2×2×2×2×2 × 3 × 5 = 32×15 = 480
2/-3 = -2/3 = -320/480 (as 3×160 = 480)
-4/5 = -4×96 / 5×96 = -384/480 (as 5×96 = 480)
21/-32 = -21/32 = -315/480 (as 32×15 = 480)
-15/24 = -15×20 / 24×20 = -300/480 (24×20 = 480)
as
-384/480 < -320/480 < -315/480 < -300/480
we can say
-4/5 < -2/3 < -21/32 < -15/24
