You and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin. If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $2; if
Kipish [7]

Answer:

E(Y) = $0.5

Var(Y)  = 14.25

you should pay the same amount  $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

E(Y) =  = Σ(YP)

P = probability of each outcomes.

Var(Y) = ΣY^{2}p − (μ x μ)

E(Y) = (2 x 0.25) +(6 x 0.25) + (0.5 x (-3)) = $0.5

Var(Y) = (2^{2}\\x 0.25) + (6^{2} x 0.25) +(-3^{2} x 0.5) - (0.5^{2})

       = 14.5 - 0.25

Var(Y)  = 14.25

for the difference between the payoff and cost of playing to have mean 0, you should pay the same amount  $0.5

4) During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play
ioda

$225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

Given, During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play admissions.

Of each dollar earned, $0.15 came from games. Craft sales earned 3 times as much as games. Food sales were 4 times the amount earned from the play.

Let the amount earned by play be x,

Now, Games earned = 0.15×500 = $75

Also, crafts earned 3×75 = $225

Now, as play earned x, then food earned 4x.

According to question,

x + 75 + 225 + 4x = 500

5x + 300 = 500

5x = 200

x = 40

So, the amount earned by Play be, $40

and the amount earned by Food be $160.

Hence, $225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

Rich is comparing the cost of maintaing his car with the depreciating value of the car. When will the cost and value be the same
goldfiish [28.3K]

Complete question:

Rich is comparing the cost of maintaining his car with the depreciation value of the car.

The value starts at $20,000 and decreases by 15% each year. The maintanance cost is $500 the first year and increases by 28% per year.

When will the maintenance cost and the value be the same.

Answer:

9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is modeled by an exponential function :

A = p(1 - r)^t [decrease, '-']

A = 20,000(1 - 0.15)^t

A = 20000(0.85)^t - - - (1)

Maintainace cost :

A = p(1 + r)^t ; [increase, '+']

A = 500(1 + 0.28)^t

A = 500(1.28)^t - - - (2)

Equating (1) and 2

20000(0.85)^t = 500(1.28)^t

1.28^t / 0.85^t = 20000/500

(1.28 / 0.85)^t = 40

Take log of both sides

Log (1.28 / 0.85)^t = log 40

t * 0.1777910 = 1.6020599

t = 1.6020599 / 0.1777910

t = 9.01

t = 9 years
