The three coins could land any these 8 ways:

HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

P(3 heads) = 1 way out of 8  or 1/8

P(2 heads) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(1 head) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(0 heads) = 1 way out of 8 or 1/8

x=Winnings  P(x)  E(x)=x�P(x)

    $3      1/8      $.375

    $2      3/8      $.75

    $1      3/8      $.375

  -$10      1/8     -$1.25

9. Find the sum of the first 6 terms of the sequence: –3, 1, 5, 9, . . . options: A) 25 B) 48 C) 42
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

C. 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d = 4 and first term a = -3.

Sum of n terms = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]

Sum of  six terms = (6/2)[2(-3) + (6 - 1)4]

= 3 * (-6 + 20)

= 42.
