A game at the fair involves a wheel with seven sectors. Two of the sectors are red, two of the sectors are purple, two of the se

ctors are yellow, and one sector is blue. Landing on the blue sector will give 3 points, landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point, landing on a purple sector will give 0 points, and landing on a red sector will give –1 point.
If you take one spin, what is your expected value?

What changes could you make to values assigned to outcomes to make the game fair? Prove that the game would be fair using expected values.

Answer:

Expected value: 3/7

Change landing on purple to -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value

Fair game: Expected value = 0

Change the value of 0 to -1.5

Reactant A can participate in both of these reactions:
user100 [1]
The activation energy is the amount of energy required to initiate a certain reaction. The activation energy may considered as an "energy barrier" that has to be overcome in order for a reaction to begin. If a reaction has a lower activation energy, then it will occur more easily and at a faster rate than a reaction with a higher activation energy. Therefore, the reason that reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2 is because it has a lower activation energy than reaction 2.

What is the product and simplest form 2/3 times 1/8
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

\frac{1}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're finding the product, we have to multiply:

\frac{2}{3} × \frac{1}{8}

You can simplify in this stage by using the "butterfly method", and dividing 2 by 2, and 8 by 2, you'd then have:

\frac{1}{3} × \frac{1}{4}

Multiply the numerators and the denominators to get:

\frac{1}{12}

~

If you prefer the longer way, again, multiply:

\frac{2}{3} × \frac{1}{8}

Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\frac{2}{24}

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:

\frac{1}{12}

a local charity held a crafts fair selling donated,handmade items. Total proceeds from the sale were $1,875. A total of 95 items
Lana71 [14]
15x+25y=1875
Let
y=95-x
15x+25 (95-x)=1875
Solve for x
15x+2375-25x=1875
15x-25x=1875-2375
-10x=-500
X=500/10
X=50 the number of $15 items

Y=95-50=45 the number of $25 items
