Use the binomial formula to find the coefficient of the q^4 p^17

Mathematics

Nata [24]2 years ago
3 0

Recal the binomial theorem:

\displaystyle (a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk a^{n-k} b^k

Then

\displaystyle (2q+p)^{21} = \sum_{k=0}^{21} \binom{21}k (2q)^{21-k} p^k = \sum_{k=0}^{21} \binom{21}k 2^{21-k} q^{21-k} p^k

We get the q⁴p¹⁷ term when k = 17, and its coefficient would be

\dbinom{21}{17} 2^{21-17} = \dfrac{21!}{17!(21-17)!} 2^4 = \dfrac{21\cdot20\cdot19\cdot18}{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}\cdot2^4 = \boxed{95,760}

<h3>Answer:  Choice D)  -$22</h3>

You'll lose on average $22 per roll.

====================================================

Explanation:

Normally there is a 1/6 chance to land on any given side of a standard die, but your friend has loaded the die in a way to make it have a 40% chance to land on "1" and an equal chance to land on anything else. Since there's a 40% chance to land on "1", this leaves 100% - 40% = 60% for everything else.  

Let's define two events

  • A = event of landing on "1".
  • B = event of landing on anything else (2 through 6).

So far we know that P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.60; I'm using the decimal form of each percentage.

The net value of event A, which I'll denote as V(A), is -100 since you pay $100 when event A occurs. So we'll write V(A) = -100. Also, we know that V(B) = 30 and this value is positive because you receive $30 if event B occurs.

To recap things so far, we have the following:

  • P(A) = 0.40
  • P(B) = 0.60
  • V(A) = -100
  • V(B) = 30

Multiply the corresponding probability and net value items together

  • P(A)*V(A) = 0.40*(-100) = -40
  • P(B)*V(B) = 0.60*30 = 18

Then add up those products:

-40+18 = -22

This is the expected value, and it represents the average amount of money you earn for each dice roll. So you'll lose on average about $22. Because the expected value is not zero, this means this game is not mathematically fair.

This does not mean that any single die roll you would lose $22; instead it means that if you played the game say 1000 or 10,000 times, then averaging out the wins and losses will get you close to a loss of $22.
