-2x-x+5=-2x+3x-10x  cancel equal terms
-x+5=3x-10x  collect like terms
-x+5=-7x   move terms
-x+7x=-5  collect like terms
6x=-5   divide both sides by 6

x=-5/6 or 0.83

How much did she spend on food during the three months
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

$$563.20 or ≈$563.00

Step-by-step explanation

The question states that Mrs. Hadley spent $126.97 on one month, $237.81 on the next, and $198.42 on the last. To get the total, we can add these values together.

126.97+237.81+198.42=563.20

An estimation would be:

127+238+198=563

We can use this estimation to determine that the total value is reasonable.

The game of European roulette slots: 18 red, 18 black, and I green. A ball is spun onto the wheel and will eventually land ina s
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

(a) E(x) = -0.081  S.D = 3

(b) E(x) = -0.081  S.D = 1.73

(c) it is less risky to bet $1 in three different rounds as compared to betting $3 in a single round.    

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) You bet $3 on a single round which means that if you win the game, your amount will double ($6), your profit will be $3. Whereas, if you lose the round, your profit will be -$3. You can only bet on red or black and both have 18 slots each.

So, the probability of landing the ball in a red/black slot = 18/37. This is the probability of winning. The probability of losing can be calculated as 1-18/37 = 19/37.

We can make a probability distribution table:

x                    3             -3

P(X=x)         18/37      19/37

Expected value E(x) can be calculated as:

E(x) = ∑ x.P(x)

      = (3)(18/37) + (-3)(19/37)

E(x) = -0.081

Standard deviation can be calculated by the following formula:

Var(x) = E(x²) - E(x)²

S.D = √Var(x)

We need to first calculate E(x²).

E(x²) = ∑x².P(x)

       = (3)²(18/37) + (-3)²(19/37)

       = (9)(18/37) + (9)(19/37)

E(x²) = 9

Var(x) = E(x²) - E(x)²

         = 9 - (-0.081)²

Var(x) = 8.993

S.D = √8.993

S.D = 2.99 ≅ 3

(b) Now, the betting price is $1 and 3 rounds are played. We will compute the expectation for one round and then add it thrice to find the expectation for three rounds. Similarly, for the standard deviations, we will add the individual variances and then consider the square root of it.

E(x) = ∑ x.P(x)

      = (1)(18/37) + (-1)(19/37)

E(x) = -0.027

Standard deviation can be calculated by the following formula:

Var(x) = E(x²) - E(x)²

S.D = √Var(x)

We need to first calculate E(x²).

E(x²) = ∑x².P(x)

       = (1)²(18/37) + (-1)²(19/37)

       = (1)(18/37) + (1)(19/37)

E(x²) = 1

Var(x) = E(x²) - E(x)²

         = 1 - (-0.027)²

Var(x) = 0.9992

The expectation for one round is -0.027

For three rounds,

E(x₁ + x₂ + x₃) = E(x₁) + E(x₂) + E(x₃)

                     = (-0.027) + (-0.027) + (-0.027)

E(x₁ + x₂ + x₃) = -0.081

Similarly, the variance for one round is 0.9992.

Var (x₁ + x₂ + x₃) = Var(x₁) + Var(x₂) + Var(x₃)

                           = 0.9992 + 0.9992 + 0.9992

Var (x₁ + x₂ + x₃) = 2.9976

S.D = √2.9976

S.D = 1.73              

(c) The expected values for both part (a) and (b) are the same but the standard deviation is lower in part (c) as compared to (b). Since the standard deviation is less in part (c), it means that it is <u>less risky to bet $1 in three different rounds as compared to betting $3 in a single round.</u>

A Formula one car travels at 850 feet every 10 seconds. If the Car is 2550 feet from the finish line, How much time will it take
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

speed= 850 feet / 10 seconds = 85 feet/ second

distance = 2550

time= distance/speed

= 2550 divided by 85

= 30 seconds
