A local church holds an annual raffle to raise money for a new roof. They sell only 500 tickets at $50 each. This year's prizes include: $3,000 in cash, four $100 Amazon gift cards, and two $75 Visa gift cards. You buy one ticket. What is your mathematical expectation for this game

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expectation for an event with outcomes:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

Each one with probability:

{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}

Is:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

There are 500 tickets sold.

1 of these, wins $3,000  (this is the event x₁)

4 of these, wins $100     (this is the event x₂)

2 of these, wins $75        (this is the event x₃)

The others do not have a prize.

So the probability of winning the $3000 is equal to the quotient between the number of tickets with that prize (1) and the total number of tickets (500)

p₁ = 1/500

Similarly, the probability of winning $100 will be:

p₂ = 4/500

And for the $75 prize:

p₃ = 2/500

Then the probability of not winning is:

p₄ = 493/500

Then the expected value for a single ticket is:

Ev = $0*493/500 + $75*2/500 + $100*4/500 + $3000*1/500

Ev = $7.1

If you take in account that you pay $50 for the ticket, the actual expectation should be:

E = $7.10 - $50 = -$42.90

Cost of Building a Home According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average cost of building a home in the Northeast is per square foot. A random sample of new homes indicated that the mean cost was and the population standard deviation was . Can it be concluded that the mean cost differs from , using the level of significance

Answers

Answer:

There isn't sufficient evidence that support the claim that mean cost differs from $117.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Population Mean cost, μ = 117.91

Sample size, n = 36

Sample mean, xbar = 122.57

Sample standard deviation, s = 20

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 117.91

H0 : μ ≠ 117.91

Using the one sample t test :

Test statistic

(xbar - μ) ÷ s/sqrt(n)

T = (122.57 - 117.91) ÷ 20/sqrt(36)

T = 4.66 / 3.333

T = 1.398

Decision region :

Reject H0 ; If Pvalue < α

α = 0.10

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35

Pvalue(1.398, 35) = 0.1709

Since 0.1709 > 0.10 ; WE fail to reject H0 ; therefore there isn't sufficient evidence that support the claim that mean cost differs from $117.91

Which type of triangle will always have at least 1-fold reflectional symmetry?

right triangle
obtuse triangle
acute triangle
isosceles triangle

Answers

Answer:

D. isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Ed22

A triangle with at least 1-fold reflectional symmetry is isosceles triangle, option D is correct.

What is Triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon that consists of three edges and three vertices.

An isosceles triangle will always have at least 1-fold reflectional symmetry.

This is because an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles.

If we draw a perpendicular bisector of the base (the side that is not congruent), it will bisect the base and the angle opposite to the base.

This means that the triangle is symmetric with respect to this line of reflection, which is the line of symmetry.

Therefore, the correct answer is isosceles triangle.

of the remaining wives had one son each. If the ratio of children of
5th wife was 1:3 with the children of other wives. How many
children does Tandin have

Answers

Answer:

Tandin has 16 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of children:

3+5 = 8(first woman)

2(youngest wife)

1 + 1 = 2(two of the  remaining wives)

So

8 + 2 + 2 = 12

If the ratio of children of  5th wife was 1:3 with the children of other wives.

Thus the 5th wife has 12/3 = 4 children.

How many  children does Tandin have?

12 + 4 = 16

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

maximum: 2minimum: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The extrema will be at the ends of the interval or at a critical point within the interval.

The derivative of the function is ...

  f'(x) = 3x² -4x -4 = (x -2)(3x +2)

It is zero at x=-2/3 and at x=2. Only the latter critical point is in the interval. Since the leading coefficient of this cubic is positive, the right-most critical point is a local minimum. The coordinates of interest in this interval are ...

  f(0) = 2

  f(2) = ((2 -2)(2) -4)(2) +2 = -8 +2 = -6

  f(3) = ((3 -2)(3) -4)(3) +2 = -3 +2 = -1

The absolute maximum on the interval is f(0) = 2.

The absolute minimum on the interval is f(2) = -6.

Given that f(x) = logo x, write a function that translates f(x) down 4 units and then
reflects it across the x axis.

The height and weight of several adults were recorded:


Using this model, what would be the weight of someone who is 5.8 ft tall? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. You must find the quadratic regression equation first.

Answers

Independent variable is the height and dependent variable is weight so you will have a quadratic such as weight = number•height^2 + number•height + number. All you need is to figure out first number and second number and third number (usually denoted by a,b,c) it will be a very tedious calculation by hand which deals with sum of the weight, sum of the weight squared, sum of weight•weight, number of weights, and sum of heights etc etc with the same pattern. It should be done by a calculator. At the end the Weight = a height^2 + b height + c (with a b c results displayed on the calculator) and then Answer = a*5.8^2 + b*5.8 + c

Weight of someone who is 5.8ft tall is 149.8 lbs.

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a method of representation of a unknown variable by some variable of degree upto 2.

How to find the weight?

a=5.607,b=-12.009,c=30.648

Let, y= weight(lbs) and x=height(ft)

y=5.61*x*x-12x+30.65

y=5.61*5.8*5.8-12*5.8+30.65

y=149.77

y≈149.8lbs.

Find the missing length. The triangles are similar.

Answers

Answer:

Missing length = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing length.

Since the triangles are similar, ∆KLM ~ ∆KRS, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be the same. This implies that:

KL/KR = KM/KS

KL = 65

KR = 65 - 52

KR = 13

KM = 60

KS = x

Plug in the values

65/13 = 60/x

Cross multiply

65*x = 60*13

65x = 780

Divide both sides by 65

65x/65 = 780/65

x = 12

Converting the words into numbers:

First part: "15 times a certain number"  → 15 x

The last part: " is 80" ->  15x + 5 x = 80

We are counting  x ' s . 15 of them plus another 5 of them gives a total of 20.

So 15 x + 5 x = 20 x = 80

The speed of the light is approximately 3x10^14 centimeters per second.how much will it take light to Tavel 9x10^14 centimeters

Answers

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the approximate speed of light.

3 · 10^14 = 3 · 100,000,000,000,000

              = 300,000,000,000,000

Approximately, light travels 300,000,000,000,000 centimeters per second.

Now, let's simplify 9x10^14.

9 · 10^14 = 9 · 100,000,000,000,000

              = 900,000,000,000,000

To find out how many seconds light takes to travel 900,000,000,000,000 centimeters, we have to divide this number by 300,000,000,000,000, the approximate speed of light.

900,000,000,000,000/300,000,000,000,000 = 3

Therefore, it will take 3 seconds for light to travel 900,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

It will take 3 seconds to cover the distance of 9×10¹⁴ cm.

What is scientific notation?

We use the scientific notation of numbers to write very large numbers in compact form.

In the scientific form, we write a number in the form of base×10ⁿ.

Where 0 ≤ base < 10 and n can be any rational number.

Given the speed of light s approximately 3×10¹⁴ cm/sec.

∴ It will take (9×10¹⁴/3×10¹⁴) = 3 seconds.

We know that exponents are added when the same base is multiplied and exponents are subtracted when the same base or integral multiple of the same base is divided.
