Here’s my dilemma, I can accept a $1000 bill or play a game ten times. For each roll of the single die, I win $500 for rolling 1

Aloiza [94]

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

Jim sells used drones for 70% of the original manufacturer's purchase price of a new drone. Jim also sells new drones for 15% mo

adell [148]

The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

$\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7 \times x}$

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7x}$

Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a new drone is:

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 15\%) \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 0.15) \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15 \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15x}$

The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Saved =New - Old}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Saved =1.15x- 0.7x}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{Saved =0.45x}$

Express as a function

$\mathbf{f(x) = 0.45x}$

Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x
