Using the definition of expected value, it is found that Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

The <em>expected value</em> is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.</u>

In this problem:

  • The player wins $6, that is, Ayo loses £6, if he rolls a 6 and spins a 1, hence the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{72}.
  • The player wins $3, that is, Ayo loses £3, if he rolls a 3 on at least one of the spinner or the dice, hence, considering three cases(both and either the spinner of the dice), the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 + 11 + 5}{72} = \frac{17}{72}
  • In the other cases, Ayo wins £1.40, with 1 - \frac{18}{72} = \frac{54}{72} probability.

Hence, his expected profit for a single game is:

E(X) = -6\frac{1}{72} - 3\frac{17}{72} + 1.4\frac{54}{72} = \frac{-6 - 3(17) + 54(1.4)}{72} = 0.2583

For 216 games, the expected value is:

E = 216(0.2583) = 55.8

Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

The measure of angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of angle B. The two angles are complementary. Find the measure for
svetlana [45]
Given: 
Angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of Angle B. Both angles are complementary

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°

Angle A = x + 4° ; Angle B = x

x + 4° + x = 90°
2x = 90° - 4°
2x = 86°
x = 86° ÷ 2
x = 43° ANGLE B.

Angle A = x + 4° ⇒ 43° + 4 = 47°

Given:
Angle D is 5 times the measure of Angle E. These angles are supplementary. This means that their sum is 180°

Angle D = 5x ; Angle E = x

5x + x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 180° ÷ 6
x = 30°  Angle E.

Angle D = 5x = 5(30) = 150°
