Chance of winning $100 = 1/1000 
<span>chance of winning $50 = 5/1000 = 1/200 </span>
<span>cost of ticket = -1 </span>
<span>E[x] = 100* 1/1000 + 50* 1/200 -1 </span>
<span>= 0.1 + 0.25 - 1 = -0.65 

Hope this helps</span>

Fabio and carlos play on a basketball team together. in the last game, fabio had 777 points less than 222 times as many points a
jasenka [17]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

f: number of points that fabio scored.

c: number of points that Carlos scored.

We now write the equation that models the problem:

f = 2c - 7

Then, for f = 31 we have:

2c - 7 = 31

From here, we clear the number of points:

 2c = 31 + 7

2c = 38

c = \frac{38}{2}

c = 19

Answer:

The equation to find the number of carlos points is:

2c - 7 = 31

Then, Carlos scored:

c = 19

Obtained from the question, Mario builds a triangular table to fit in a corner of the bedroom with the construction measure of 45,90 and 45 degrees which will be possible. In order to construct any physical object, proper tool are needed for accuracy of the object to built more than one of the similar table. With the help of proper instruments and measurement Mario can easily make a triangular table for his room's corner.

Answer 2 with Explanation

Given E = I × R and P = E × I, select the formula that will solve for E when only R and P are known.
stiv31 [10]

E = \left\{(a,b) \mid a \in I \text{ and } b \in R \right\}, P = \left\{(a,b) \mid a \in E \text{ and } b \in R \right\} but we cannot solve for the set E because we are missing information.
