The world famous gambler from Philadelphia, Senor Rick, proposes the following game of chance. You roll a fair die. If you roll a 1, then Senor Rick pays you $25. If you roll a 2, Senor Rick pays you $5. If you roll a 3, you win nothing. If you roll a 4 or 5, you must pay Senor Rick $10, and if you roll a 6, you must pay Senor Rick $15. Is Senor Rick loco for proposing such a game? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You lose $0.833 while Rick gains $0.833, and so Rick is not Loco

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six numbers on a dice. Thus, probability of rolling exactly one number = 1/6

Probability of rolling two is 2/6.

Rolling a 1 pays $25, and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 2 pays $5,and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 3 pays $0, and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 4 or 5 pays -$10, and probability = 2/6

Rolling a 6 pays -$15, and probability = 1/6

Thus,lets calculate the expected value;

EV = (25 × 1/6) + (5 × 1/6) + (0 × 1/6) + (-10 × 2/6) + (-15 × 1/6)

EV = - $0.833

This means you lose $0.833 while Rick gains $0.833, and so Rick is not Loco.

Ferdinand is playing golf. He hits a shot off the tee box that
has a height modeled by the function h(t) = –16t2 + 80t,
where h(t) is the height of the ball, in feet, and t is the time
in seconds it has been in the air. The graph that models
the golf ball's height over time is shown below.

When does the ball reach its maximum height?

What is the maximum height of the ball?

Answers

Answer:

Maximum height of the ball = 100 m

Time to reach the maximum height = 2.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Function that models the height h(t) of the ball and time 't',

h(t) = -16t² + 80t

Convert this equation into vertex form,

h(t) = -16(t²- 5t)

     = -16[t² - 2(2.5t) + (2.5)² - (2.5)²]

     = -16[[t² - 2(2.5t) + (2.5)²] + 16(2.5)²

     = -16(t - 2.5)² + 16(6.25)

     = -16(t - 2.5)² + 100

By comparing this equation with,

g(t) = a(x - h)² + k

Here, (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Vertex of the given parabola will be → (2.5, 100)

Therefore, maximum height of the ball = 100 m

Time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height = 2.5 seconds

The zeros of a quadratic function are -7 and 3. Which of the following could be the function? Select all that apply.
A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42
B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105
C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21
D. F(x)=x^2-4x-21

Answers

The possible functions are

A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42

B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105

C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21

How to determine the possible equations?

The zeros are given as:

x = -7 and x = 3

Rewrite as:

x +7 = 0 and x - 3 = 0

Multiply both zeros

(x + 7) * (x - 3) = 0 * 0

Evaluate the product

x^2 + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

Express as a function

f(x) = a(x^2 + 4x - 21)

Where a is a constant

Let a = 1, 2 and  5 (according to the values in the options)

f(x) = 1 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = x^2 + 4x - 21 --- option (c)

f(x) = 2 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 2x^2 + 8x - 42 --- option (a)

f(x) = 5 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 5x^2 + 20x - 105 --- option (b)

Hence, the possible functions are (a), (b) and (c)

An envelope has a perimeter of 30 inches. Its area is 50 square inches. What are the dimensions of the
envelope?
inches by
inches

Answers

Answer:

10in by 5in

Step-by-step explanation:

PERIMETER: p=2(a+b) p=30

AREA: A=a×b A=50

2(a+b)=30

a×b=50

Answer:

The dimensions of the envelope are 5 by 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter formula for a rectangle:  P = 2W + 2L

Area formula           '    "          "         A = W*L

Here, P = 2W + 2L, so 30 in = 2W + 2L, or 15 in = W + L

Also, A = W*L, so 50 in^2 = W*L, or (if we solve this for W) W = (50 in)/L

But 15 = W + L, or 15 - L = W.  Substitute this result for W in the equation W = (50 in)/L:  

We get (50 in)/L = 15 - L

Multiplying both sides by L eliminates the fraction:

50 in = 15L - L^2, or

L^2 - 15L + 50 = 0

This factors into (L - 10)(L - 5) = 0, so L is either 10 or 5.  Because 15 - L = W, W is either 10 or 5.

The dimensions of the envelope are 5 by 10 inches.

Lisa, Kelly, and Maria have $56.70. If Lisa has $23.20 and Kelly has $15.05, which equation shows how much money, n, Maria has

Answers

Answer:

38.25+n=56.70

Step-by-step explanation:

23.20+15.05+n=56.70

38.25+n=56.70

Answer:

Maria has $18.45.

Explanation:

All three of them have $56.70 all together.

So you would want to add Lisa's amount with Kelly's amount to get how much they have together.

23.20 + 15.05 = 38.25

Then you take the amount of money Lisa and Kelly has together and subtract it from the total amount of money all three of them have together to get Maria's amount.

56.70 - 38.25 = 18.45

Maria has $18.45.

Check:

Add all three of there money amounts together and if you get $56.70 you got the right answer.

23.20 + 15.05 + 18.45 = 56.70

An algebraic expression in mathematics is a combination of terms both constant and variable. For example, we can write the algebraic expressions as -

2x + 3y + 5

2z + y

x + 3y

Given is that there are 6 children on a bus. Each child is wearing a hat.

Total number of children in the bus = 6

Number of children wearing a hat = 6

Fraction of children wearing a hat -

n = (Number of children wearing a hat/Total number of children in the bus)

n = 6/6

n = 1

Therefore, all 6 childrens in the bus are wearing a hat.

You want to take 12 shirts, but you can only fit 3 in your suitcase. How many different ways can you choose shirts to pack?

Answers

Answer:

220 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be gotten by using the formula of combination in statistics.

The formula for combination is given below

nCr = n! / r!(n - r)!, where

r = total number of object, and

n = number of objects we're choosing from

Applying this to the question we have

12C3 = 12! / 3!( 12 - 3)!

12C3 = 12! / 3! * 9!

12C3 = 220

Therefore, we can choose to pack the shirts in 220 different ways
