A board game uses a spinner to determine how many spaces a player will move forward on each turn. The probability is 1/2 that the player moves forward 1 space, and moving forward 2 or 3 spaces each have 1/4 probability. What is the expected value for the number of spaces a player moves forward on a turn?

Answers

Answer 1

ANSWER

1.75

EXPLANATION

The expected value of an event X is the sum of the products of each value of the event and the probability of the event resulting in that value.

In this case,

[tex]E\lbrack X\rbrack=1\cdot P(1\text{ }forward)+2\cdot P(2\text{ }forward)+3\cdot P(3\text{ }forward)=1\cdot\frac{1}{2}+2\cdot\frac{1}{4}+3\cdot\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solve,

[tex]E\lbrack X\rbrack=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}=1.75[/tex]

Hence, the expected number of spaces the player moves in a turn is 1.75.

What is data?

A set of discrete values called data is a collection of information that can describe amount, quality, fact, statistics, or just a series of symbols that can be further understood. A datum is a distinct state inside a collection of data. Typically, data is arranged into structures like tables that provide it additional context and meaning and can also be used as their own form of data in bigger structures. It's possible to use data as variables in a computation. Data can reflect both actual measures and abstract concepts. Data is employed often in practically every aspect of human organizational activity, including business and science. Stock prices, crime rates, unemployment rates, literacy rates, and census statistics are a few examples of data sets.

By evaluating the square root function in  x = 0 and x = 25/16 we will get:

f(0) = 0

f(25/16) = 5/4

How to evaluate the function?

Here we have the square root function:

f(x) = √x

And we want to evaluate this in x = 0 and x = 25/16.

Evaluating in zero we get the same than you got:

f(0) =√0 = 0

Evaluating in x = 25/16 we will get:

f(25/16) = √(25/16)

Remember that the square root can be distributed under division, so:

√(25/16) =  √(25)/√(16)

Now, we know that:

√25 = 5

√16 = 4

Then we can rewrite the quotient as:

√(25)/√(16) = 5/4

so f(25/16) = 5/4.

What percentage is the best prediction for the percent of people in an audience who will finish watching a documentary that is 27 minutes long? Round your answer to the hundredths place

Answers

Using the regression equation we can estimate that 60.49% of people will finish the documentary.

Regression analysis is a group of statistical procedures used in statistical modelling to determine the associations between a regression model and one or more relationship between the independent variable.

Y is the variable (the variable that is plotted on the Y axis), X is the independent variable (i.e., it is displayed on the X axis), b is the slope of the line, and an is the y-intercept.The equation has the form Y= a + bX.

The equation is given as  Y= - 0.434X+72.21

At X=27 , the value of Y can be estimated as :

Y = -0.434 × 27 +72.21

or, Y = 60.492  

or, Y ≈ 60.49

Therefore 60.49  % is the best prediction  of people will watch the documentary completely.

What is linear equation?

An equation between two variables that, when plotted on a graph, produces a straight line or say first degree equation is known as linear equation.

Part 1.

Here in question of part 1 it stated that

g = the number of gallons of gasoline

t =  the total amount of money

So according to question, the linear equation will be

2.31g + 1.25t = 0

Part 2.

Given, 1g = $2.31

then, 16g = 16 * 2.31

Answers

n = -2.56

Explanation:

2(9n-1)+7n+6= -60​

The first thing we do is expand the parenthesis:

2× 9n - 2×1 + 7n + 6 = -60

18n -2 + 7n + 6 = -60

collect like terms:

18n + 7n -2 + 6 = -60

25n + 4 = -60

Subtract 4 from both sides:

25n + 4 -4 = -60 - 4

25n + 0 = -64

25n = -64

divide both sides by 25:

25n/25 = -64/25

n = -2.56

Based on the triangle sum theorem, the measure of <RSP is: B. 49°

How to Apply the Triangle Sum Theorem?

According to the triangle sum theorem, every triangle has a sum of 180 degrees when all its interior angles are added together.

Since lines PS and QR are parallel lines, therefore:

5y + 14 = 8y - 13 [alternate angles are congruent]

Solve for the value of y

5y - 8y = -14 - 13

-3y = -27

-3y/-3 = -27/-3

y = 9

(8y - 13) + 3x + (2x + 1) = 180 [triangle sum theorem]

8y - 13 + 3x + 2x + 1 = 180

8y - 12 + 5x = 180

Plug in the value of y

8(9) - 12 + 5x = 180

72 - 12 + 5x = 180

60 + 5x = 180

5x = 180 - 60

5x = 120

x = 120/5

x = 24

Inside the loop, for each iteration of the loop, that is, each value of i, two addition operations are made, adding i to t and incrementing the count control variable i by 1.

Answers

The values of the functions, when g is defined for all real numbers is as follows:

g(-2) = -3

g(1) = 3

g(4) = 0

Given, the function g is defined for all real numbers.

g(x) = { 1x²/4 - 4    if x≠1

               3            if x=1 }

g(-2):

here, x = -2

where x ≠ 1

therefore, g(-2) = 1x²/4 - 4

substitute x as -2

g(-2) = 1(-2)²/4 - 4

g(-2) = 4/4 - 4

g(-2) = 1 - 4

g(-2) = -3

g(1):

here, x = 1

where x = 1

therefore, g(1) = 3

g(4):

here, x = 4

where x ≠ 1

therefore, g(4) = 1x²/4 - 4

substitute x as 4

g(4) = 1(4)²/4 - 4

g(-2) = 16/4 - 4

g(-2) = 4 - 4

g(-2) = 0

Hence we get the values of g(-2), g(1) and g(4) as -3,3 and 0 respectively.

Please provide working out for a and b. Thanks.

Answers

Answer:

a) 102 is the smallest of the dropdown number

b) 1025 is the smallest dropdown number

c) 9874 is the largest 4-digit dropdown number

Explanation:

Given:

All digits in a dropdown number are different and one of its digits is the average of all its digits.

It has at least two digits.

To find:

a) the smallest dropdown number

b) the smallest and largest 4-digit dropdown numbers

a) From the information given, the numbers are at least two digits. This means the smallest of the digits from the dropdown is 2

We can't have 0 as the starting number because it will reduce the digits by 1. The list will start from the smallest to the highest since we are looking for the smallest number.

For two digits: 12, 13, 14, etc

We can only have a 2-digit number whose average is part of digits if the numbers are the same digit.

As a result, we will move to 3 digits.

For 3 dgits: 102, 103, 104, 105, etc

We will check if any of the above will have one of its digits as average

102: 1 + 0 + 2 = 3

Average = 3/3 = 1

One of the digits of this number is the average of the number.

Hence, 102 is the smallest of the dropdown number

b) To get the smallest 4 digit dropdown number, we will list from smallest to highest

For 4 digits: 1023, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, ...

We will check if any of the above will have one of its digits as average

1023: 1+0+2+3 = 6

Average = 6/4 = 1.5

1024: 1+0+2+4 = 7

Average = 7/4 = 1.75

1025: 1+0+2+5 = 8

Average = 8/4 = 2

One of the digits of this number is the average of the number.

Hence, 1025 is the smallest dropdown number

To get the largest 4-digit dropdown number, we will list from largest to smallest

For 4 digits: 9876, 9875, 9874, 9873, 9872, etc

We will check if any of the above will have one of its digits as average

9876: 9+8+7+6 = 30

Average = 30/4 = 7.5

9875: 9+8+7+5 = 29

Average = 29/4 = 7.25

9874: 9+8+7+4 = 28

Average = 28/4 = 7

One of the digits of this number is the average of the number.

Hence, 9874 is the largest 4-digit dropdown number
