Using the expected value, it is found that the highest value you could set the price is: $5.

-----------------------------

  • A game is fair, that is, the player would still win, if the <u>expected value is 0</u>.
  • The expected value is the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's probability</u>.
  • A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

  • For two fair dice, there are 36 total outcomes, as 6^2 = 36.
  • The charge is x.
  • 6 outcomes result in a sum of 7, which are (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2) and (6,1), thus, \frac{6}{36} probability of getting 10.
  • 10 outcomes result in a sum of 6 or 8, which are (1,5), (2,4), (2,6), (3,3), (3,5), (4,2), (4,4), (5,1), (5,3) and (6,2), thus, \frac{8}{36} probability of getting x.
  • 36 - 14 = 22, thus \frac{22}{36} probability of losing x.

Since we want the expected value to be 0:

\frac{6}{36}(10) + \frac{8}{36}(5) - \frac{22}{36}x = 0

\frac{60 + 50 - 22x}{36} = 0

22x = 110

x = \frac{110}{22}

x = 5

The highest value you could set the price is: $5.

The Solution.

The given equation is

\begin{gathered} y=|x|+7 \\ \text{Where x=11} \end{gathered}

Substituting 11 for x, we can get the value of y.

\begin{gathered} y=|11|+7 \\ y=11+7 \\ y=18 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of y is 18.

In a circle, what does the ratio A/r^2 represent?
Pepsi [2]
The ratio A/r² would represent \pi which is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter.

You can see this because the area of a circle is \pir² and if you divided that by the radius squared, you are given pi which is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter.
