Complete question :

Jenna’s method: Mia’s method: 5(30 + 4) 5(30 + 4) (5)(30) + (5)(4) 5(34) = 170 150 + 20 = 170 Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna's method :

5(30 + 4) = 5(34) = 170

Mia’s method :

5(30 + 4) :

5(30) + 5(4)

150 + 20

= 170

With both methods, we will arrive at the same answer as justified in the workings above. However, Jenna's method gives a very simple approach and less complicated arithmetic by using the distributive property to overrode some multiplication process which Mia went through in her own calculation. Therefore, Jenna's method is less complicated and requires two simple steps at obtaining the final result.

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

$\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = $\frac{2}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = $\frac{28}{36}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

$\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11$

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{66-77}{9}$

$-\frac{11}{9}$

$-1.22$

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Daniel deposited $500 into a savings account and after 8 years, his investment is worth $807.07. The equation A = d(1.005)12t mo

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation A = d(1.005)^12t modelling the value of Daniel’s investment shows a monthly compounded interest. This means that the interest is compounded 12 times in a year.

We can confirm by inputting the given values

t = 8 years

d = 509

Therefore,

A = 500(1.005)12 × 8

A = 500(1.005)^96

A = $807.07

Therefore, the true statements are

Increases

Exponential

Never Decrease

I think Mr. Han is around the 60 or 70 age.

I am really sorry that I couldn't answer this problem. Try starting with 21 and multiply that by 3. To check if you can do it, add 43 to the number you multiply 3 with. Again, i am really sorry that i only wrote a hint. Good luck finding the answer!
