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

any other total, you lose 911 Find the expected payoff for this game The expected payoff for this game is $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

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.

What number should be added to the sum of 83524 and 4365 to get 900.

IceJOKER [234]

-86989.
83524+4365=87889
87889-900=86989
so........
83524+4365+(-86989)=900

Mr. Cruz fills a 3-gallon water cooler for a family picnic. He brings plastic cups that each hold 12 fluid ounces of water. How

oksian1 [2.3K]

One gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces

3 gallons is equivalent to 3*128 fluid ounces

= 384 fluid ounces

One plastic cup can hold 12 guide ounces

So cups needed will be 384/12

32 cups

The answer for Mixed Degree Systems

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

We have to find the maximum number of solutions of each of the following system:

1)

Two distinct concentric circles:

Since, distinct concentric circles means that the two circles have same center but different radius.

That means they will never intersect each other at any point.

Ans hence we will get zero solutions.

2)

Two distinct parabolas:

Two parabolas can maximum intersect at 2 points this could be seen by the diagrams.

3)

A line and a circle.

A line and a circle can maximum have 2 solutions.

4)

A parabola and a circle.

It can have maximum two solutions it can be seen from the diagram.

F⃗ (x,y)=−yi⃗ +xj⃗ f→(x,y)=−yi→+xj→ and cc is the line segment from point p=(5,0)p=(5,0) to q=(0,2)q=(0,2). (a) find a vector pa

DerKrebs [107]

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.
