A gambler is trying to determine whether or not to make a bet. If he bets and wins, he will profit $2000. If he bets and loses, he has to pay $300. The probability that he wins the bet is 15%. Find the gambler's expected value if he makes the bet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The gambler's expected value if he makes the bet is $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

15% probability of a profit of $2000.

100 - 15 = 85% probability of having to pay $300, that is, a loss of $300.

The expected value is each outcome multiplied by it's probability, so:

[tex]E = 0.15*2000 - 0.85*300 = 45[/tex]

The gambler's expected value if he makes the bet is $45.

Answer:

sorry I don't know the answer

Answer:

For the equation y=log(x-k), the domain depends on the value of K. Sliding K moves the left bound of the domain interval. The range and the right end behavior stay the same. For the equation y=log x+k, the domain is fixed, starting at an x-value of 0. The vertical asymptote is also fixed. The range of the equation depends on K.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean of a certain set of measurements is 27 with a standard deviation of 14.

This means that [tex]\mu = 27, \sigma = 14[/tex]

The proportion of measurements that is less  than 13 is

This is the p-value of Z when X = 13, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{13 - 27}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.16, and thus, the probability is: Exactly 16%.

Find the numerical limits for a C grade.

Answers

Answer:

The numerical limits for a C grade are 60.6 and 69.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 67 and a standard deviation of 7.3.

This means that [tex]\mu = 67, \sigma = 7.3[/tex]

Find the numerical limits for a C grade.

Below the 100 - 38 = 62th percentile and above the 18th percentile.

18th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.18, so X when Z = -0.915.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.915 = \frac{X - 67}{7.3}[/tex]

[tex]X - 67 = -0.915*7[/tex]

[tex]X = 60.6[/tex]

62th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.62, so X when Z = 0.305.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.305 = \frac{X - 67}{7.3}[/tex]

[tex]X - 67 = 0.305*7[/tex]

[tex]X = 69.1[/tex]

The numerical limits for a C grade are 60.6 and 69.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2 , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 8 = 10

Student scores on exams given by a certain instructor have mean 74 and standard deviation 14. This instructor is about to give two exams, one to a class of size 25 and the other to a class of size 64.

Required:
a. Approximate the probability that the average test score in the class of size 25 exceeds 80.
b. Repeat part (a) for the class of size 64.
c. Approximate the probability that the average test score in the larger class exceeds that of the other class by over 2.2 points.

Answers

Answer:

a) Hence the probability that the average test score in the class of size 25 exceeds 80.

P ( X > 74) = 0.9838

P ( Z > 2.14) = 0.0162

b) Hence the probability that the average test score for the class of size 64

P ( X > 74) = 0.9838

P ( Z > 2.14) = 0.0003

c) Probability of the difference exceeding 2.2 = 0.9936

P (Z < 2.49) = 0.0064

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume a normal distribution.

Now,

a) For a class of 25

[tex]P ( X > 74) = P (Z > 80 - 74/ 14\sqrt(25) )\\\\= P (Z < 6 / 2.8)\\\\= P ( Z < 2.14)\\= 0.9838\\[/tex]

[tex]P ( Z > 2.14) = 1- 0.9838\\= 0.0162[/tex]

b)

Similarly:

For the class of 64

[tex]P ( X > 74) = P (Z > 80 - 74/ 14\sqrt(64) )\\\\= P (Z < 6 / 1.75)= P ( Z < 3.428)\\= 0.9838\\[/tex]

[tex]P ( Z > 2.14) = 1- 0.9997\\= 0.0003[/tex]

c) Probability of the difference exceeding 2.2

[tex]= P (Z > 2.2/\sqrt{14 * {(1/25) + (1/64}\\[/tex]

[tex]= P (Z > 2.49)\\= 0.9936[/tex]

P (Z < 2.49)

= 1 - 0.9936

= 0.0064

complete the table of values for y=x^2-2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

For each value of x, we need to solve for y.

Our equation is x² -2. This means that we multiply x by itself ( x * x = x²), and then subtract that value by 2.

Here is a list of the unfilled answers:

x = -2:

-2²-2 = -2 * -2 -2 = 4-2 = 2. -2 * -2 = 4 because two negatives multiplied together makes a positive.

x=-1:

-1²-2 = 1 -2 = -1

x=1

1²-2 = 1-2= -1

x=3:

3²-2  = 9-2 = 7

b)

In this graph, the y represents the vertical part and x represents the horizontal. For each value of y, there is a horizontal line that can be drawn. For example, when y=0, the bolded horizontal line near the bottom of the graph represents that. We then need to find the points on the line representing x²-2 where it touches the horizontal line of y=0. This happens when x=-1.5 and x=1.5, as it is between the positive/negative 1 and 2 values of x

Answers

Given:

A man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his  shares for Bir 10,000.

To find:

The value of the business in Bir.

Solution:

Let x be the value of the business.

It is given that a man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his  shares for Bir 10,000.

[tex]x\times \dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=10000[/tex]

[tex]x\times \dfrac{1}{4}=10000[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4.

[tex]x=4\times 10000[/tex]

[tex]x=40000[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the business is 40,000 Bir.

In an arithmetic sequence, every pair of consecutive terms differs by a fixed number c, so that the n-th term [tex]a_n[/tex] is given recursively by

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+c[/tex]

Then for n ≥ 2, we have

[tex]a_2=a_1+c[/tex]

[tex]a_3=a_2+c = (a_1+c)+c = a_1 + 2c[/tex]

[tex]a_4=a_3+c = (a_1 + 2c) + c = a_1 + 3c[/tex]

and so on, up to

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)c[/tex]

Given that [tex]a_3=126[/tex] and [tex]a_{64}=3725[/tex], we can solve for [tex]a_1[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{cases}a_1+2c=126\\a_1+63c=3725\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]\implies(a_1+63c)-(a_1+2c)=3725-126[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

There is significant evidence to conclude that carina e in New section is greater than 42.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample variance, s² = 48.3

Population variance, σ² = 42.3

Sample size, n = 28

α = 0.05

The hypothesis :

H0 : σ² = 42.3

H0 : σ² > 42.3

The test statistic, χ² : (n-1)*s²/σ²

χ² = [(28 - 1) * 48.3] / 42.3

χ² = (27 * 48.3) / 42.3

χ² = 1304.1 / 42.3

χ² = 30.829787

χ² = 30.830

The Critical value at α = 0.05 ; df = (28-1) = 27

Critical value(0.05, 27) = 27.587

Reject H0 if χ² statistic > Critical value

Since, 30.830 > 27.587 ; Reject H0 ; and conclude that variance in the new section is greater than 42.3
