You play a game where you roll a single die. You pay $1 to play, and the payouts are $0.50 if you roll an
even number, $2 if you roll a 1, and $1 if you roll a 3 or 5. What are the odds for winning money if you play this game? Show your work and Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Let W be the random variable representing your winnings from playing the game. Then

[tex]P(W=w)=\begin{cases}\text{prob. of rolling an even number}=\frac12&\text{if }w=\$0.50-\$1=-\$0.50\\\text{prob. of rolling a 1}=\frac16&\text{if }w=\$2-\$1=\$1\\\text{prob. of rolling 3 or 5}=\frac13&\text{if }w=\$1-\$1=\$0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

In short, you have a 1/6 chance of profiting from the game, and a 5/6 chance of losing money. So the odds of winning are (1/6)/(5/6) = 1/5 or 1 to 5.

You decide to go on a 4 day backpacking trip. The first day you walk 8 miles at northeast, on the second day, you walk 4 miles at eastsouth, and on the third day you walk 3 miles at southwest. On the fourth day you need to head straight back to your car. How far do you have to walk, and in what direction

Answers

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Where the above parameters are given,  you need to walk a distance of approximately √41 miles back to your car.

How to compute the above

To calculate the total distance you need to walk, you can use the Pythagorean theorem since you have a right triangle formed by the north and east displacements.

Distance = √((Distance north)² + (Distance east)²)

= √((5 miles)² + (4 miles)²)

= √(25 miles + 16 miles)

= √41 miles

Hence, you need to walk a distance of  approximately √41 miles back to your car.

As for the direction, based on the net displacements, you are 5 miles north and 4 miles east of your car, so the direction would be a combination of north and east, often referred to as northeast.

a game is played using one die. if the die is rolled and shows a 2, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 2, the player wins nothing.

If there is a charge of $9 to play the game what is the games expected value?

Answers

Answer:

The game's expected value is of -$1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

Probability of each outcome multiplied by the outcome.

One out of 6 sides is 2:

1/6 probability of the player earning 45 - 9 = $36.

5/6 probability of the player losing $9. So

[tex]E = 36\frac{1}{6} - 9\frac{5}{6} = \frac{36 - 45}{6} = -\frac{9}{6} = -1.5[/tex]

The game's expected value is of -$1.5.

Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean volume of syrup dispensed. Assume population is approximately normally distributed. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

(1.1155 ; 1.1245)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample mean, xbar = 1.12

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.011

Sample size, n = 25

Since we are using the sample standard deviation, we use the T distribution ;

The confidence interval is defined as :

C. I = Xbar ± Tcritical * s/√(n)

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 24

Tcritical(0.05, 24) = 2.064

C. I = 1.12 ± (2.064 * 0.011 / √25)

C.I = 1.12 ± 0.0045408

Lower boundary = (1.12 - 0.0045408) = 1.1155

Upper boundary = (1.12 + 0.0045408) = 1.1245

What is the distance between (8, -3) and (4, - 7)?
Choose 1 answer:

Will GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll find the distance using the all-famous "Distance Formula." You'll probably come across it quite a bit, so it's best to have it written down somewhere.

The Distance Formula: [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

Our points are (8, -3) and (4, -7), so we'll plug in those numbers accordingly.

For reference:

x2 = 4

x1 = 8

y2 = -7

y1 = -3

The calculation:

(substitute)

[tex]\sqrt{(4-8)^2+((-7)-(-3))^2 }[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{32}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{32}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \sqrt{32}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between 2 points can be determined with the following formula.

[tex]d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+ (y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the 2 points. We want to find the distance between the points (8, -3) and (4, -7). If we match the value with its corresponding variable, then we see:

x₁= 8 y₁= -3 x₂= 4 y₂ = -7

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]d= \sqrt{(4-8)^2+(-7--3)^2[/tex]

Solve inside the parentheses.

(4-8) = -4 (-7 - -3) = (-7+3)= -4

[tex]d= \sqrt {(-4)^2+(-4)^2[/tex]

Solve the exponents.

(-4)² = -4 * -4 = 16

[tex]d= \sqrt {16+16[/tex]

Add.

[tex]d= \sqrt {32}[/tex]

This radical can be simplified, but since it is an answer choice, we can leave it as is.

The distance between the points (8, -3) and (4, -7) is √32 and choice C is correct.

The number of people attending graduate school at a university may be

represents the year. Based on the regression equation, which year is the best
prediction for when 1206 people will attend graduate school?
A. Year 15
B. Year 18
C. Year 24
D. Year 20

Answers

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic regression model:

y = 8x² - 40x+6 ; where

y = Number of people attending graduate school ;

x = number of years

The value of x when y = 1206

The equation becomes :

1206 = 8x² - 40x+6

1206 - 6 = 8x² - 40x

1200 = 8x² - 40x

Divide through by 8

150 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 150 = 0

x² - 15x + 10x - 150 = 0

x(x - 15) + 10(x - 15)

x - 15 = 0 or x + 10 = 0

x = 15 or x = - 10

Number of years can't be negative,

Hence, x = 15 years

Consider a study conducted to determine the average protein intake among an adult population. Suppose that a confidence level of 85% is required with an interval about 10 units wide . If a preliminary data indicate a standard deviation of 20g . What sample of adults should be selected for the study?​

Answers

Answer:

With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations for protein intake may be insufficient to achieve this goal and that individuals might benefit by increasing their intake and frequency of consumption of high-quality protein. However, the environmental effects of increasing animal-protein production are a concern, and alternative, more sustainable protein sources should be considered. Protein is known to be more satiating than other macronutrients, and it is unclear whether diets high in plant proteins affect the appetite of older adults as they should be recommended for individuals at risk of malnutrition. The review considers the protein needs of an ageing population (>40 years old), sustainable protein sources, appetite-related implications of diets high in plant proteins, and related areas for future research.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationships between an angle in a right triangle and the basic trig functions. The triples of letters stand for ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

where the terms "opposite" and "adjacent" refer to sides of the triangle that are opposite the angle of interest or adjacent to it, respectively.

In these problems, the measure of the hypotenuse is shown, and the problem requests the measure of the side opposite the given angle. The sine function is relevant.

3. sin(79°) = GE/GB = GE/(43 in)

   GE = (43 in)sin(79°) ≈ (43 in)(0.981627) ≈ 42.21 in

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour. (a) Estimate the change in humidity over the next 20 minutes. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) -1.4 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. percentage points

Answers

Answer:

The change is of -1.3 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour.

This means that after n hours the humidity is of:

[tex]H(n) = 56 - 4n[/tex]

Estimate the change in humidity over the next 20 minutes.

It currently is 56%.

20 minutes is 20/60 = 1/3 of an hours, so:

[tex]H(\frac{1}{3}) = 56 - 4\frac{1}{3} = 54.7[/tex]

Change:

54.7 - 56 = -1.3

The change is of -1.3 percentage points.

The change in humidity over the next 20 minutes falling at a rate of  4 percentage points per hour is -1.3.

The humidity is currently 56% and falling at a rate of 4 percentage points per hour.

What is the formula used to determine the change in humidity?

The change is determined by the small about of humidity changes x to x+h, so the output of x+h is the value of f at x plus the approximate change in f, that is

[tex]\rm f(x+h) =f(x) + f'(x) \times h[/tex]

f(x)= 56%

20 minutes is 20/60 = 1/3 of an hours

So, The change in humidity is

[tex]f'(x) = 4 \times 1/3[/tex]

f'(x) = 1.3

Here, it is falling at the rate of 4% point per hour so we will take it as negative as -1.3.
