74. A friend devises a game that is played by rolling a single six-sided die once. If you roll a 6, he pays you $3; if you roll a 5, he pays you nothing; if you roll a number less than 5, you pay him $1. Compute the expected value for this game. Should you play this game

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expected value is -$0.17

Since it gives a negative expected value, the game is not favorable and should not be played

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the expected game value and decide if the game is worth playing

Probability of rolling a six is 1/6

Probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6

Probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 4/6 = 2/3

So the only way to win is rolling a six

The expected value is thus;

1/6(3) - 0(1/6) - 2/3(1)

= 1/2 - 2/3

= -$0.17

Since the game gives a negative expected value, it is not favorable and should not be played

Answer 2

In this exercise we want to use probability to calculate the value we will have in total after the event occurs, like this:

The value is -$0.17, with thw negative value, the game should not be played.

Let's organize the information given in the statement, in this way, we will have to:

Probability of rolling a six is 1/6Probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6Probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 2/3So the only way to win is rolling a six

With this combination of values, we find that the probability will be calculated as:

[tex]1/6(3) - 0(1/6) - 2/3(1)= 1/2 - 2/3\\= -$0.17[/tex]

If the value of x is -4, which inequality is true?

Answers

what are the inequalities ?

An on-demand printing company has monthly overhead costs of $1,900 in rent, $450 in electricity, $80 for phone service, and $230 for advertising and marketing. The printing cost is $40 per thousand pages for paper and ink. The average cost for printing x thousand pages can be represented by the function C(x)= 2660+40x/x

For a given month, if the printing company could print unlimited number of pages, what value would the average cost per thousand pages approach? What does this mean in the context of the problem?

Answers

Answer:

$40

It means that when an infinite number of pages are printed in a month then the fixed cost will be negligible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Monthly overhead costs in rent = $1900

Costs in electricity = $450

Costs for phone service = $80

Costs for advertising and marketing = $230

Printing cost per thousand pages = $40

If number of pages printed are [tex]x[/tex] thousand then cost of printing for [tex]x[/tex] thousand pages = $40[tex]x[/tex]

Average cost to print [tex]x[/tex] thousand pages can be given as:

(Total fixed cost + Total cost of printing [tex]x[/tex] thousand pages) divided by [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{2660+40x}{x}[/tex]

Now, it is given that an infinite number of pages are printed in a month, and we have to find the value that average cost would approach to.

[tex]\lim_{x \to \infty} (\dfrac{2660+40x}{x})[/tex]

Let us solve the above limits.

[tex]\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to \infty} (\dfrac{2660}x+\dfrac{40x}{x})\\\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to \infty} (\dfrac{2660}x)+40\\\Rightarrow 40+\lim_{x \to \infty} (\dfrac{2660}x)[/tex]

When

[tex]x\rightarrow \infty\Rightarrow \frac{2660}{x} \rightarrow 0[/tex]

Putting the value in the limits, we get:

Average cost per thousand pages month would approach to [tex]\rightarrow \$40[/tex]

It means that when an infinite number of pages are printed in a month then the fixed cost will be negligible.

Find the slope and Y intercept from the equation 12x+3y=6

Answers

Answer:

slope = -4                         y-intercept = (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 3y = 6

-12x           -12x

-----------------------------------------------

3y = -12x + 6

3y/3 = -12x/3 + 6/3

-----------------------------------------------

y = -4x + 2       ( this is in y = mx + b form, m representing the solpe and b representing the y-intercept)

This being said, the slope = -4 and the y-intercept = (0, 2).

Question on the picture:)

Answers

Answer:

a. No

b. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

x - 4 = 12

x - 4 + 4 = 12 + 4

x = 16

16 ≠ 8

Therefore, the following value given for problem a is not a solution to the given equation.

b. (3 + x)/4 = 3

(3 + x)/4 * 4 = 3 * 4

3 + x = 12

3 + x - 3 = 12 - 3

x = 9

9 = 9

Therefore, the following value given for problem b is a solution to the given equation.

The sides of an equilateral triangle are reduced by 12 units, 13 units and 14 units respectively and a right-angle triangle is formed. Find the length of each side of the equilateral triangle?

Answers

Answer:

the length of each side of the equilateral triangle = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose the side length of equilateral triangle = x

The 3 side of right triangle formed (by side length): x-12 , x-13, x-14

(x-13)² + (x-14)² = (x-12)²  .... Pythagorean theorem

x² -26x + 169 + x² -28x + 196 = x² -24x + 144

x² - 30x +221 = 0

(x- 17) (x - 13) = 0

x = 17 or x = 13

if x = 13  the right triangle will have a side length of 13-13=0 ... not solution

x = 17

check: 17-12=5     17-13=4     17-14=3

What are some of the more significant limitations of mathematical models as imitators/predictors of natural phenomena

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A mathematical model refers to a mathematical function that describes natural phenomena.

Models are used to approximate natural phenomena hence they are not really exact representations of reality. Thus mathematical models are inherently imperfect and so is our understanding of natural phenomena represented by these mathematical models.

The mathematical parameters used in models to represent real processes are uncertain since they are determined from experiment or represent more than one process.

Lastly, the initial and the boundary conditions in a model may not be explicitly established.

Joseph paid $10 for six avocado at a grocery mart he wants to know what the price will be buying different numbers of avocado what is the price of 9 out of avocado ​

Answers

What we need to know is what price will be buying from the different numbers of avocado to know what is the price of 9 out of avocado.

The answer is going to be 5.00 because the price of it for the avocados are 3 because 6 are 10 which all you had to do was divide 10 by 2 so that the answer would be 5.

Answer: $15

9 avocados = $15

Step-by-step explanation:

1 x 3 = 9

5 x 3 = 15

Our Data:

Avocados       Price (dollars)

3                      5

6                      10

9                      15

So, our answer is $15

The average person that weighs 150 pounds has approximately 4.5 liters of blood in their body. Based on that same scale, supposedly how many liters of blood would a 250 pound person have?

Answers

Answer:

First you find how many pounds for 1 litre of blood. Trick is if you divide x by y, the answer you get will follow the unit of x. So if you divide 150 pounds by 4.5 litres, the answer will be 33.33 pounds per litre. So how many 33.33... is there in 250? Just divide 250 by 33.333 or (150/4.5), you'd get 7.5. That means for there's 7.5 parts of 33.333 pounds in 250 pounds. And if 33.333 pounds is equal to 1 litre of blood, you get 7.5 liter!

A lab scale weighs 3 pounds, 5 ounces. Which of the following is the scale weight in (oz)?

a. 35 oz
b. 53oz
c. 41
d. 29oz

Answers

Answer:

53 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 pound = 16 ounce

3 pounds = 48 ounces

We need to find the weight in 3 pounds, 5 ounces.

3 pounds, 5 ounces = 48 ounces+ 5 ounce

= 53 ounces

So, the scale weight is 53 ounces. Hence, the correct option is (b).

Sue walked 3.38 miles. Alex walked five times as many miles as Sue. Dan walked 4.68 miles more than Alex. How far did Dan walk

Answers

Answer:

21.58 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find how many miles Alex walked.

It said "Alex walked five times as many miles as Sue" so lets multiply 3.38 with 5: 3.38 x 5 = 16.9

So, Alex walked 16.9 miles. Now we can find Dan's.

It said "Dan walked 4.68 miles more than Alex" so lets add 4.68 to 16.9: 16.9 + 4.68 = 21.58

So Dan walked 21.58 miles
