1.5r+15=2.25r
Combine like terms: 1.5r+15-1.5r=2.25r-1.5r
15=0.75r
Get the unknown alone: 15/.75=.75/.75r
20=r or r=20 :)

borishaifa [10]
Find each probability separately and then multiply the two together


Probability for even number is 3/6 or 1/2 because their are 3 even numbers out of 6 numbers

Probability to get a black chip is 1 black chip out of 3 totals so 1/3

Multiply 1/3 by 1/2

The Big River Casino is advertising a new digital lottery-style game called Instant Lotto. The player can win the following mone
zysi [14]

Answer:

(a) The expected value of the prize for one play of Instant Lotto is $3.50.

(b) The probability that the visitor wins some prize at least twice in the 20 free plays is 0.2641.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected day has at least 1000 people play Instant Lotto is 0.2579.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The probability distribution of the monetary prizes that can be won at the game called Instant Lotto is:

<em>X</em>         P (<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)

$10        0.05

$15        0.04

$30       0.03

$50       0.01

$1000   0.001

$0         0.869

___________

Total =   1.000

Compute the expected value of the prize for one play of Instant Lotto as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P (X=x)

         =(10\times 0.05)+(15\times 0.04)+(30\times 0.03) \\+ (50\times 0.01)+(1000\times 0.001)+(0\times 0.869)\\=0.5+0.6+0.9+0.5+1+0\\=3.5          

Thus, the expected value of the prize for one play of Instant Lotto is $3.50.

(b)

Let <em>X</em> = number of times a visitor wins some prize.

A visitor to the casino is given <em>n</em> = 20 free plays of Instant Lotto.

The probability that a visitor wins at any of the 20 free plays is, <em>p</em> = 1/20 = 0.05.

The event of a visitor winning at a random free play is independent of the others.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 20 and <em>p</em> = 0.05.

Compute the probability that the visitor wins some prize at least twice in the 20 free plays as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-[{20\choose 0}0.05^{0}(1-0.05)^{20-0}]-[{20\choose 1}0.05^{1}(1-0.05)^{20-1}]\\=1-0.3585-0.3774\\=0.2641

Thus, the probability that the visitor wins some prize at least twice in the 20 free plays is 0.2641.

(c)

Let <em>X</em> = number of people who play Instant Lotto each day.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with a mean, <em>μ</em> = 800 people and a standard deviation, <em>μ</em> = 310 people.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected day has at least 1000 people play Instant Lotto as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≥ 1000) = P (X > 1000 + 0.50)

                    = P (X > 1000.50)

                    =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{1000.50-800}{310})

                    =P(Z>0.65)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected day has at least 1000 people play Instant Lotto is 0.2579.

jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus
Pie

Answer:

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: ax – c = bx + d

Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because  x has a different unknown coefficient.

Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution

Solving the equation:

ax-c = bx + d

ax - bx= d+c

(a - b)x = d+c

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

So, this shows x can be isolated .

Victoria was right .

It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .

But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .

So, Victoria is right.

pshichka [43]
The formula for this is: (sale price) / (1 - percentage)
Percentage have to be in decimal form, so divide percentage by 100 to get the decimal form.

220/(1-.20) = $275

The original price was $275.

Malcolm and Ravi raced each other.
Semenov [28]

Malcolm maximum speed is 200 km/h and Ravi maximum speed is 320 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume Malcolm maximum speed to be M km/h and Ravi  maximum speed to be R km/h

Average of their maximum speed is; (M+R)/2 =260 km/h

This can be simplified to M+R= 260*2

M+R = 520.......................................(I)

When Malcolm's speed is doubled,

2M=R+80 km/h ----------------------(ii)

The two equations are;

M+R = 520 ------ M=520-R ----(i)

2M=R+80 ---------------------------(ii)

Replacing M with (i) above

2M=R+80

2(520-R) =R+80

1040 -2R =R+80

1040-80 = R+2R

960 = 3R

960/3 =R

320 =R

M+R =520

M=520-320 =200

Malcolm maximum speed is 200 km/h and Ravi maximum speed is 320 km/h
