Harlene tosses two number cubes. If a sum of 8 or 12 comes up, she gets 9 points. If not, she loses 2 points. What is the expected value of the number of points for one roll? Negative two-thirds Negative one-sixth one-sixth Two-thirds.

Answers

Answer 1

We want to get the expected value for the given experiment, we will see that it is equal to -1/6 points, so the correct option is "negative one-sixth"

For an experiment with events {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}, each one with probability {p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}, the expected value is given by:

EV = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

Here we have two events:

x₁ = she gets 9 points.x₂ = she loses 2 points.

Let's find the probabilities of each one of these.

She gets 9 points if the sum of the two dice is equal to 8 or 12.

Each dice has 6 outcomes.

Then a combination of two dice has a total of 6*6 = 36 outcomes.

The outcomes that add to 8 or 12 are:

dice 1   dice 2  sum

2           6            8

3           5            8

4           4            8

5          6             8

6           2            8

6           6            12

So 6 out of the 36 outcomes, then the probability of this event is:

p₁ = 6/36 = 1/6

And the other event is for all the other outcomes, so the probability is just:

p₂ = 5/6

Then the expected value is:

EV = (+ 9 points)*(1/6) + (-2 points)*(5/6)  = -1/6 points.

So the correct option is negative one-sixth.

Answer:

x ≈ 7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle.

cos27° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{KL}{KM}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.3}{X}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

x × cos27° = 6.3 ( divide both sides by cos27° )

x = [tex]\frac{6.3}{cos27}[/tex] ≈ 7.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

If one worker can lay 10 bricks every hour, and one bandit steals 3 bricks every hour, then how long would it take 8 workers and 5 bandits to lay 1400 bricks?

Answers

It will take 21.53 hours for 8 workers and 5 bandits to lay 1400 bricks.

Given that one worker can lay 10 bricks every hour, and one bandit steals 3 bricks every hour, to determine how long it would take 8 workers and 5 bandits to lay 1400 bricks, the following calculation must be performed:

10 - 3 = 7 5 x 7 + 3 x 10 = X 35 + 30 = X 65 = X 1400/65 = X 21.53 = X

Therefore, it will take 21.53 hours for 8 workers and 5 bandits to lay 1400 bricks.

What is the value of q

Answers

Answer:

Triangles QST and RST are similar.  Therefore, the following is true:

q       s

--- = ----   This results in 10q=rs.

r      10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.

Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.  

           4      s

Also:  ---- = -----    which leads to s^2 = 40

           s      10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)

Find the slope for (3,1)and (4,3)

y2-y1 / x2-x1

so, 3-1 =2 and 4-3=1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula : [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the x and y values are derived from known points

We are given the points (3,1)and (4,3)

Given these points we can define our variables

(x1,y1) = (3,1) so x1 = 3 and y1 = 1

(x2,y2) = (4,3) so x2 = 4 and y2 = 3

Now that we have defined our variable, we plug them into the formula

Recall formula: [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

x1 = 3 , y1 = 1 , x2 = 4 , y2 = 3

* plug in values *

[tex]\frac{3-1}{4-3}[/tex]

subtract 3 and 1 , and 4 and 3

[tex]\frac{3-1=2}{4-3=1} =\frac{2}{1} =2[/tex]

Answers

The value of x and y are 5/6 and 8/5 respectively

Given the systems of equations

12x + 15y = 34 ...................... 1 *1 -6x + 5y = 3 ..................... 2 * 3

Solving the equations using the elimination method

12x + 15y = 34

-18x + 15y = 9

Subtract both expressions:

12x-(18x) = 34 - 9

12x+18x = 25

30x = 25

x = 5/6

Substitute x = 5/6 into equation 1 to have:

12x + 15y = 34

12(5/6) + 15y = 34

10 + 15y = 34

15y = 24

y = 8/5

Hence the value of x and y are 5/6 and 8/5 respectively

4. Identify the zeros and the graph of the function y = x(x − 2)(x + 5).

Answers

The zeros of

y = x(x + 2)(x + 5)y=x(x+2)(x+5)

are

x=0,x=-2,x=-5x=0,x=−2,x=−5

EXPLANATION

The given function is

y = x(x + 2)(x + 5)y=x(x+2)(x+5)

To find the zeros of the above function, we just have to equate the function to zero and solve for x.

x(x + 2)(x + 5) = 0x(x+2)(x+5)=0

This implies that,

x = 0 \: \: or \: x + 2 = 0 \:or \: x + 5 = 0x=0orx+2=0orx+5=0

x = 0 \: \: or \: x = - 2\:or \: x = - 5x=0orx=−2orx=−5

To graph the above function, we need to consider the multiplicity.

We can see that the multiplicity of the roots are odd. This means that, the graph crosses the x-axis at each x-intercept.

We also need to consider the position of the graph on the following intervals,

x < - 5x<−5

When

x = - 10x=−10

y = - 10( - 8)( - 5) \: < \: 0y=−10(−8)(−5)<0

The graph is below the x-axis.

- 5 \: < \: x \: < \: - 2−5<x<−2

When

x = - 3x=−3

y = - 3(2)( - 1) \: > 0y=−3(2)(−1)>0

The graph is above the x-axis.

- 2 \: < \: x < \: 0−2<x<0

when

x = - 1x=−1

y = -1(1)(4) \: < \: 0y=−1(1)(4)<0

The graph is below the x-axis.

Finally the interval,

x \: > \: 0x>0

when

x = 1x=1

y = 1(3)(6) \: > \: 0y=1(3)(6)>0

The graph is above the x-axis.

Find the inverse of f(x) = 1/2x + 3

Answers

The equation we have right now is basically y = 1/2x + 3. We can switch the x and y variables. Our new equation is: x = 1/2y + 3. Next, we solve for y.

Firstly, we subtract 3 from both sides. This gives us x - 3 = 1/2y. Next, we multiply both sides by 2 to isolate y. This gives us 2(x - 3) = 1/2y. Then, we have 2x - 6 = y.

The answer is f(x) = 2x - 6

Your piggy bank contains quarters and dimes. There are 572 coins in the piggy bank totaling $92. How
many quarters and dimes are in the piggy bank

Answers

Answer:

340 dimes and 232 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes be x and quarters be y.

Dime = 10 cents, quarter = 25 cents, total amount is $92 = 9200 cents

We have equations:

x + y = 57210x + 25y = 9200

Multiply the first equation by 10 and subtract from the second one:

10x + 25y - 10x - 10y = 9200 - 572015y = 3480y = 3480/15y = 232

Find the value of x:

x + 232 = 572x = 572 - 232x = 340

What is an expression?

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

8(3/5) = (3/4)x - 5(1/2)

43/5 = 3x/4 - 11/2

43/5  + 11/2 = 3x/4

(86 + 55)/10 = 3x/4

141/10 = 3x/4

3x = 141 x 4 / 10

x = 564/30

x = 18(24/30)
