Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

probability equals number of desired outcomes over total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = 36

possible sums of 5:

2,3   1,4  3,2.  4,1

4/36= 1/9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

To bet $5 that the outcome is any one of these five possibilities: 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.

Let Y represent the Amount of net profit

Then, Y= {-5, 30}

The probability distribution of Y is:

Y                        -5                        30

P(Y=y)                \dfrac{33}{38}                        \dfrac{5}{38}

a)  The expected value of X is given by:

E[Y] =\sum y P(Y=y)= 30*\dfrac{5}{38}-5*\dfrac{33}{38}

=-0.39

= -39 \ cents

b)

On a bet of $5 on the number 25 we are expected to loose 24 cents.

While on a $5 bet that the outcome is any one of the numbers 0,00, or 1 we are expected to loose 39 cents.

Hence,  $5 bet on the number 27 is better. Because the expected loss is less in this bet

3 RIGHT TRIANGLES

1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.

<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x

Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m

32/x = x/18

32*18 = x*x

576 = x²

√576 = √x²

24 = x    

Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.

<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>

Use Pythagorean theorem:

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?

32²+ 24² = c²

1024 + 576 = c²

1600 = c²

√1600 = √c²

40 m = c

Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.

A line has x-intercept of 6 and y-intercept of -4.Find the slope of the line.
Zigmanuir [339]

x-intercept is 6, coordinates (6,0)

y-intercept -4, coordinates (0,-4)

gradient= y1-y2/x1-x2= 0-(-4)/6-0= 4/6= 2/3 or 0.667 (3.s.f.)
