You are offered the following gamble:

Flip two fair coins. If at least one head comes up, you win $12. If not, you lose $24. What is the expected value of this gamble?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping two fair coins :

Sample space :

{TH, HT, TT, HH}

Atleast one head = 12

If not = - 24

Probability of atleast one head = 3/4

If not ; probability of 2 tails = 1/4

Hence,

X ______12 ______ -24

P(x) ___0.75 ______0.25

Expected value for of gamble E(x) :

Σx * p(x) = (12 * 0.75) + (-24 * 0.25)

E(x) = 9 - 6

E(x) = 3

Expected value of gamble = $3

Suppose you want to find the average household income in America. So you pick 10 households from each state (a total of 500 households) and find their income.

What is the population? What is the parameter you want to find?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the experiment is to find the average or mean amount of household income in America.

Household Income simply means the total income of a household - which is the sum of income earned by each member of the household. This study aims to find the average of this household, across the Americas.

For your analysis, you pick 10 households from each state of the country (or continent). A total of 500 households implies 500/10 = 50 states

WHAT IS THE POPULATION?

The population in this study is:  the total population of American households OR the total number of households in America. The sample on the other hand, is the 500 households directly involved in the study.

WHAT IS THE PARAMETER YOU WISH TO FIND?

The parameter you wish to find is:  mean (or average) household income in America.

What are some good things to remember when you
draw a diagram of a ratio?

Answers

Answer:

the order in which the ratio is drawn should be the same as listed.

Explanation:

What this means is that since a ratio compares the sizes of two numbers (eg 4:2 or 4 ratios 2 or [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]), it would be wrong to change the order of a ratio when drawn in a diagram.

For example,  changing the order to (2:4 or 2 ratios 4), which then  because [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] not [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]. Hence, it is important to remember that diagram of the ratio of two or more quantities should be the same as listed.

Investigate the difference between compounding annually and simple interest

for parts a-j. Round to the nearest cent.

a. Find the simple interest for a 1-year CD for $5,000 at a 2.5% interest rate.

compounded annually.

c. Compare the results from parts a and b.

d. Find the simple interest for a 3-year CD for $5,000 at an interest rate

of 2.5%.

e. Find the interest for a 3-year CD for $5,000 at an interest rate of 2.5%,

compounded annually.

f. Compare the results from parts d and e.

g. Find the simple interest for a 6-year CD for $5,000 at an interest rate of 2%.

h. Find the interest for a 6-year CD for $5,000 at an interest rate of 2%,

compounded annually.

i. Compare the results from parts g and h.

j. Is interest compounded annually the same as simple interest? Explain

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

[tex]A = P (1 + rt)[/tex]

Compound interest formula

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

a.

[tex]A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*1)\\A=5000(1.025)\\A=5125[/tex]

Simple interest is $125

b

. [tex]A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*1} \\A=5000(1.025)\\A= 5125[/tex]

Compound interest is $125

c. the result for both a and b are the same

d.

[tex]A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*3) \\A=5000(1.075) \\A=5375[/tex]

the simple interest is $375

e

. [tex]A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*3}] \\A=5000(1.025)^3 \\A=5000(1.077)\\A= 5385[/tex]

the compound interest is $385

f. the result compared, compound interest is $10 more than simple interest

g.

[tex]A = 5000 (1 + 0.02*6) \\A=5000(1.12) \\A=5600[/tex]

the simple interest is $600

h.

[tex]A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.02}{1})^{1*6}] \\A=5000(1.12)^6 \\A=5000(1.9738) \\A= 9869[/tex]

the compound interest is $4869

i. the result from g and h, h is over 8 times bigger than g.

j. interest compound annually is not the same as simple interest, only for the case of a and b seeing that it is for 1 year. but for 2years and above there is difference as seen in c to h

What is the missing expression that would make the left-hand-side of the equation equal to the right-hand-side?

[tex]\frac{???}{x-2}/\frac{x^{2}-1 }{x^{2} -4x+4} =\frac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

Answers

Given:

The equation is

[tex]\dfrac{???}{x-2}/\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-4x+4}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

To find:

The missing value.

Solution:

Let the missing value be k.

[tex]\dfrac{k}{x-2}/\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-4x+4}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{k}{x-2}\times \dfrac{x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2}{x^2-1^2}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

Using the formulae [tex](a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex] and [tex](a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{k}{x-2}\times \dfrac{(x-2)^2}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{k(x-2)}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}[/tex]

Cancel out the common factors from both sides.

[tex]\dfrac{k}{x+1}=5[/tex]

Multiply both sides by (x+1).

[tex]k=5(x+1)[/tex]

Therefore, the missing value is 5(x+1).

The life expectancy of Timely brand watches is normally distributed with a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 8 months. Ninety-five percent of the watches will have a life expectancy of at least how many months

Answers

Answer:

63.68 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question with z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score ???

μ is the population mean = 4 years

Since the final answer would be in months, we would convert mean to months

= 1 year = 12 months

4 years = x months

= 12 × 4 = 48 months

σ is the population standard deviation = 8 months

z = the z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

1.96 = x - 48/8

1.96 × 8 = x - 48

15.68 = x - 48

x = 15.68 + 48

x = 63.68 months

Find the measure of angle b

Answers

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the measurement of all the angles together has to equal 360 degrees. So the angle directly across from 100 is also 100 (because they are vertical angles) which equals 200. That means you have 160 degrees left to figure out. Since you have to find the measurement of the other TWO angles, just divide 160 in half and then you have the measurement for angle b.
The answer is 80 degrees.

g(x)=2x^2+2x+21
Find g(p+4)​

Answers

Answer:   2p^2 + 18p + 61

======================================================

Explanation:

Everywhere you see an x, replace it with p+4, then simplify.

We'll use the FOIL rule to expand out (p+4)^2

So...

g(x) = 2x^2 + 2x + 21

g(x) = 2( x )^2 + 2( x ) + 21

g(p+4) = 2( p+4 )^2 + 2( p+4 ) + 21 .... every x replaced with p+4

g(p+4) = 2(p^2+8p+16) + 2(p+4)+21 .... FOIL rule

g(p+4) = 2p^2+16p+32 + 2p+8+21 .... distribute

g(p+4) = 2p^2 + 18p + 61
