You need to borrow money for gas, so you ask your mother and your sister. You can only borrow money from one of them. Before giving you money, they each say they will make you play a game. Your sister says she wants you to flip a fair coin. She will give you $9 for heads and $21 for tails. Your mother says she wants you to roll a six-sided die. She will give you $5 times the number that appears on the die. Determine the expected value of each game and decide which offer you should take.

Answers

Answer 1
$30 for the flip a coin game.
$105 for the dice game.
- > heads = $9
-> tails = $21
^ $9+$21=$30

dice game-
6 sides of a dice, she doubles it by 5.
1*5 + 2*5 + 3*5 + 4*5 + 5*5 + 6*5
^ 5+10+15+20+25+30= 105.
-> $105 for dice game.

you can easily get $9/$21 from your sister, but it won’t be as much from the dice, but you have more risk going with the dice since there’s 6 sides. the highest to get from your mother is $30 and the highest from your sister is $21, but the dice is the better deal.
Answer 2

The maximum amount you can get from your mother is $30, while the most amount you can get from your sister is $21, but the dice is the better bargain.

How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?

Binomial distributions consist of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

Suppose we have random variable X pertaining to a binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as

 

[tex]X \sim B(n,p)[/tex]

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

[tex]P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

The expected value of X is:

[tex]E(X) = np\\[/tex]

You need to borrow money for gas, so you ask your mother and your sister.

You can only borrow money from one of them.

Before giving you money, they each say they will make you play a game. Your sister says she wants you to flip a fair coin.

She will give you $9 for heads and $21 for tails.

Your mother says she wants you to roll a six-sided die.

She will give you $5 times the number that appears on the die.

The expected value for a coin will be

[tex]E(X) = 1 \times 0.5 = 0.5[/tex]

The expected value for a dice will be

[tex]E(X) = 1 \times \dfrac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]

You can easily receive $9/$21 from your sister, but it won't be as much as the dice, and you'll take a bigger risk with the dice because it has six sides.

The maximum amount you can get from your mother is $30, while the most amount you can get from your sister is $21, but the dice is the better bargain.

the square with a side length (x + 3) and an equilateral triangle with side lengths (3x-1) have the same perimeter what is the value of x?

Help please

Answers

Answer:  x = 9/5 or  [tex]1\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

35 1/5 is the perimeter of the square and the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square has 4 sides, so the perimeter of the square is 4(x+3)

The triangle has 3 sides so the perimeter is 3(3x-1)

The perimeters are equal, so 4(x+3) = 3(3x-1)

Solve by distributing and then

4x +12 = 9x - 3  subtract 4x from both sides and add 3 to both sides

4x-4x +12 -3 = 9x-4x -3 +3  cancel the zero sums and combine similar terms.

9 = 5x  divide both sides by 5

x =  9/5

Check:  4(9/5 +3) = 3[3(9/5) -1]

36/5 + 3   = [3( 27/5  -1 ]   27/5 -3  -3 equivalent -15/5  27/5 -15/5 = 12/5

36/5 = 3(12/5)  = 36/5   TRUE!  simplify to mixed numbers

The difference between the longest and shortest light bulb lifetime was five years is correct interpretation so option (B) will be correct.

What is the standard deviation?

The square root of the variance is used to calculate the standard deviation, a statistic that expresses how widely distributed a dataset is in relation to its mean.

In other meaning, standard deviation shows the deviation of the value of data from the mean.

Standard deviation is how much-given data is deviate from the mean of it.

y=−2/3x+5

y=−2/3x+9

y=2/3x+9

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation of a line conveniently by point-slope form. It's in the form of [tex]y -a = m(x -b)[/tex] where [tex](b,a)[/tex] is the coordinates of a point that's on the line and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line.

Now choose a point (It doesn't really matter which one) and plug that in the equation. I'll choose [tex](-3,7)[/tex] where [tex]a = 7[/tex] and [tex]b = -3[/tex]

[tex]y -a = m(x -b) \\ y -7 = m(x -(-3)) \\ y -7 = m(x +3)[/tex]

The next thing we have to do now is finding the slope, [tex]m[/tex], where it's equal to [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}\\[/tex]. I'll make [tex](-3,7)[/tex] point 1 and [tex](3,3)[/tex] point 2.

[tex]m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 -(-3)} \\ m = \frac{3 - 7}{3 +3} \\ m = \frac{-4}{6} \\ m = -\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Now let's plug that to our equation.

[tex]y -7 = m(x +3) \\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)[/tex]

Now we have the equation but out of all the choices it seemed that all of them are in slope-intercept form all you have to do now is make our equation rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

[tex]y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x +3)\\ y -7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{2}{3}(3) \\ y - 7 = -\frac{2}{3}x -2\\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{3}x +5\\[/tex] is your equation.

Start by creating an equation. You’ll need a variable to represent what is earned per week, for example x.

So,
420=60+9x
(Since he already has 60)
Subtract the 60 from 420 to begin isolating the variable
This gives you
360=9x
Divide both sides by 9 to completely isolate the variable

four pumpkins weigh 26 pounds altogether. Pumkin one weighs four less than three times the weight of Pumkin threee. Pumkin four weighs twice as much as pumkin One. Pumpkin Two weighs five more pounds than Pumkin three. What does each pumpkin weigh

Answers

Answer:

5, 8, 3, 10 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using a system of equations! We will call pumpkins [tex]a, b, c, d[/tex].

Our equations are thus:

[tex]a + b + c + d = 26[/tex]

[tex]a = 3c - 4[/tex]

[tex]d = 2a[/tex]

[tex]b = c + 5[/tex]

So now we just need to solve this system of equations.

We can start by solving for the value of pumpkin [tex]c[/tex] and go from there. So first we substitute some equations around.

First we write out pumpkin [tex]d[/tex] in terms of [tex]a[/tex].

[tex]d = 2a = 2(3c - 4) = 6c - 8[/tex]

And now we put the three equations into the first equation:

[tex]a + b + c + d = 26\\(3c-4)+(c+5)+(c)+(6c-8)=26[/tex]

Then we simplify to get:

[tex]11 c - 7 = 26[/tex]

[tex]11c = 33\\c = 3[/tex]

So we know pumpkin [tex]c[/tex] weighs 3 pounds.

Then we use the equations from before to get the value of the other pumpkins:

[tex]a = 3c-4 = (3*3)-4=9-4=5\\d = 2a = 2*5=10\\b = c + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8[/tex]

And we can check our results by putting into first equation:

[tex]5+8+3+10=26[/tex]

So it works out!

Thus our pumpkins weigh 5, 8, 3, 10 lbs each.

Answer:

24% finished and 76% did not

Step-by-step explanation:

you have the ratios:

12/50 and 38/50

These have to be turned into percentages so they need to have a denominator of 100

to do this, figure out what you have to multiply the denominator by to get 100

In this case, 50 times 2 is equivalent to 100.

Then, whatever you multiplied the denominator by, you multiply the numerator by

In this case, 12 times 2 is 24 and 38 times 2 is 76

Once you have the end products, take the numerator and add a percentage sign to it

The equation of the line passing through points  (0,1) and (2,2) will be y = ( 1 / 2) x + 1

What is an equation of the line?

An equation of the line is defined as a linear equation having a degree of one. The equation of the line contains two variables x and y. And the third parameter is the slope of the line which represents the elevation of the line.

The general form of the equation of the line:-

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = y-intercept

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Slope= 2-1   /   2-0  =  1 /2

Now pick one of the points and put in for y and x use (2,2).

2= 1/2(2) +b

2=1 + b

2-1 =1-1 +b   subtract 1 from each side

1 = b   This is your y-intercept

The equation will be written as:-

y = ( 1 / 2) x + 1

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through points  (0,1) and (2,2) will be y = ( 1 / 2) x + 1.

Answers

It is easiest to solve this system by elimination.

     4x-8y=44

(+) -4x-8y=12

-16y=56

y = -7/2

now substitute the value of y into one of the above equations and solve for x

4x – 8(-7/2) = 44

4x + 28 = 44

4x = 16

X = 4

So, the solution is (4, -7/2)

The solution of the  system of equations 4x-8y=44 and 2x+4y=-6is (4, -3.5).

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The given system of equation is 4x-8y=44 ...(1)

and 2x+4y=-6...(2)

To eliminate y term we have to multiply equation 2 with 2.

4x+8y=-12..(3)

Now add equation 1 and 3.

4x-8y+4x+8y=44-12

8x=32

Divide both sides by 8

x=4

Now plug in x value in equation 1

4(4)-8y=44

16-8y=44

Subtract 16 from both sides

-8y=44-16

-8y=28

Divide both sides by 8

y=-28/8

y=-7/2

=-3.5

Hence, the solution of the  system of equations is (4, -3.5).
