The expected value for playing roulette if a person bet $16 on red is -$0.84.

b. The statement that best describes what this value means is option b. Over the long run, the player can expect to lose about $1.05 for each game played.

To be able to calculate the expected value, you need to multiply the probability of winning by the amount won hence it will be:

Expected value = (18/38) x  $16 - (20/38) x  $16

= -$0.84

Based on the fact that the expected value has a negative sign, it implies that, on average, the player tend to lose money over the long run.

Answer: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this by counting the boxes for both the Width and the Length.

If we look at the width of these boxes (horizontally) then we see that there are 5 boxes all together, with 2 shaded green.

this means that 2 out of 5 of the boxes are shaded for the width, giving us the fraction: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Then for the Length (vertically) we see that there are also 5 boxes, but this time 4 are shaded. This gives us the fraction:  [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex].

Then, to fill the equation in, we do: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] , which gives us          [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

2 x 4 = 8

5 x 5 = 25

To double check this answer, we can count how many boxes are shaded green.

We see that 8 are shaded green, out of the 25 boxes that are there.

Therefore, giving us a complete answer of:  [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

The probability that an eighth-grade girl will have long hair and be wearing a dress is 3/8 or 0.375, which is the same thing expressed as a decimal.

what is probability?

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means the event is certain to happen.

To solve the problem, we need to find the intersection of the events "having long hair" and "wearing a dress" and calculate the probability of that intersection.

Let L be the event "having long hair" and D be the event "wearing a dress". Then we know:

P(L) = 3/4, since three-fourths of the girls have long hair.

P(D) = 1/2, since half of the girls are wearing dresses.

To find P(L ∩ D), we need to multiply the probabilities of the two events:

P(L ∩ D) = P(L) × P(D) = (3/4) × (1/2) = 3/8

Therefore, the probability that an eighth grade girl will have long hair and be wearing a dress is 3/8 or 0.375, which is the same thing expressed as a decimal.

Answer:

{-3, √3, -√3, 13/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polynomial has rational coefficients, any irrational zeros must come in conjugate pairs. So, if √3 is a zero, then so is its conjugate, -√3.

We can write the polynomial with these zeros as:

p(x) = a(x + 3)(x - √3)(x + √3)(x - 13/3)

where a is some constant coefficient. Multiplying out the factors, we get:

p(x) = a(x + 3)(x^2 - 3)(x - 13/3)

To find the remaining zeros, we need to solve for x in the expression p(x) = 0. So we set up the equation:

a(x + 3)(x^2 - 3)(x - 13/3) = 0

This equation is true when any of the factors is equal to zero. We already know three of the zeros, so we need to solve for the fourth:

(x + 3)(x^2 - 3)(x - 13/3) = 0

Expanding the quadratic factor, we get:

(x + 3)(x - √3)(x + √3)(x - 13/3) = 0

Canceling out the (x - √3) and (x + √3) factors, we get:

(x + 3)(x - 13/3) = 0

Solving for x, we get:

x = -3 or x = 13/3

Therefore, the other zeros are -3 and 13/3.

The complete set of zeros is {-3, √3, -√3, 13/3}.

Surface area of similar cone is 44π square inches

What does a cone in maths ?

A cone is referred to as a "right cone" when its vertex is higher than the base's centre (i.e., when the angle formed by the vertex, base center, and any base radius is a right angle); otherwise, the word "oblique" is used. A cone is referred to as an elliptic cone when the base is assumed to be an ellipse rather than a circle.

The surface area of a cone is given by:

surface area = πr(r + l)

where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

surface area of original cone = π(3)(3 + 12) = 45π

slant height of similar cone = (6/3)(12) = 24 inches

surface area of similar cone = π(6)(6 + 18) = 144π

ratio of surface areas = surface area of similar cone / surface area of original cone

= (144π) / (45π)

= 3.2

Therefore, The exact surface area of the similar cone is 6 times the surface area of the original cone,

6 × 45π = 144π square inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference between the number of jumping jacks is 50, as you correctly stated. This means that the number of jumping jacks increases by 50 for each additional minute.

The slope of the line that connects any two points on this table represents the rate of change of the number of jumping jacks with respect to time. Since the common difference is constant, the slope of the line that connects any two points on this table will be the same. In this case, the slope is 50.

The slope of the line that connects the first and fourth points is calculated as (200 - 50) / (4 - 1) = 150 / 3 = 50, not 150.

The common difference (aka slope aka rate of change) is constant because the number of jumping jacks increases by the same amount for each additional minute. This means that the relationship between time and the number of jumping jacks is linear.

Therefore here, (5⁴)². 5⁶. (5⁸)².(5⁶)². (5⁸)² simplifies to 5⁸².

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(0.5) = -170k

Solving for k, we get:

The strength of the beam is proportional to the width and the square of the depth, so we can express it as Strength = k * width * depth²

where k is the proportionality constant.

In the given figures, the beam is cut from a cylindrical log of diameter d = 24 cm, which means the maximum width and depth of the beam are limited by this diameter. We can see from the figures that the width and depth of the beam change depending on the angle at which it is cut from the log.

In Figure 1, the width and depth of the beam are equal, so we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * x² * (d/2 - x)²

where x is the width and depth of the beam.

In Figure 2, the width and depth of the beam are not equal, so we need to express them separately. Let w be the width and d be the depth, then we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * w * d² = k * ((d/2)sinθ)² * ((d/2)cosθ)²

where θ is the angle at which the beam is cut from the log.

In Figure 3, the width and depth of the beam also vary with the angle θ. We can express the width and depth as follows:

w = d sinθ

d = (d/2)cosθ

Then we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * (d sinθ) * [(d/2)cosθ]²

Therefore, depending on the angle at which the beam is cut from the log, the strength of the beam can be expressed using different equations, but in all cases, the strength is proportional to the width and the square of the depth, with a proportionality constant k.

a) The function of h in terms of r is h=1400/(πr²).

b) The surface area of the can in terms of r is 2800/r+2πr².

c) The corresponding values of r and h that minimize the amount of required material are r≈14.04 cm and h≈2.98 cm.

a) The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = πr²h.

In this case, the volume of the can is

1400 cm³

So we have

1400 = πr²h.

Solving for h, we get

h = 1400/(πr²).

b) The surface area of a cylinder is given by

A = 2πrh+2πr².

Using the expression we obtained for h in part (a), we can substitute it in the equation and get

A = 2πr(1400/(πr²))+2πr²

= 2800/r+2πr².

c) To minimize the amount of required material, we need to find the value of r that minimizes the surface area.
To do this, we take the derivative of the surface area expression with respect to r and set it equal to zero:

dA/dr = -2800/r²+4πr = 0.

Solving for r, we get

r = √(700/π), which is approximately 14.04 cm.

Substituting this value in the expression for h that we obtained in part (a), we get

h = 1400/(π(14.04)²), which is approximately 2.98 cm.

The two roots of the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 3 = 0 are (5 + √13) / 2 and (5 - √13) / 2.

To find the roots of the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 3 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

Substituting the values of a, b, and c from the given equation, we have:

x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)² - 4(1)(3))) / 2(1)

x = (5 ± √(25 - 12)) / 2

x = (5 ± √13) / 2

Therefore, the roots of the equation are (5 + √13) / 2 and (5 - √13) / 2.

To verify that these are indeed the roots of the equation, we can substitute each of these values for x in the original equation and check if the equation is satisfied. For example, if we substitute (5 + √13) / 2 for x, we get:

(5 + √13)² - 5(5 + √13) + 3 = 0

Simplifying this equation, we get:

13 - 5√13 + 8 + 13 - 5√13 + 3 = 0

This equation is true, which means that (5 + √13) / 2 is a root of the equation x² - 5x + 3 = 0. Similarly, we can verify that (5 - √13) / 2 is also a root of the equation.

These roots can be found using the quadratic formula, which is a useful tool for solving quadratic equations.

The mixed fraction 1 and 1/4 is equal to 5/4 and the mixed fraction 1 and 1/2 is equal to 3/2.

Given first number = 1 and 1/4.

1 and 1/4 is a mixed fraction so, we can write it in the form as  [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] .

To find the value of  [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  we have to multiply 4 with 1 and add the numerator part of the fraction which is 1 and then divide it by 4 which is the denominator. So,

 [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  = ((4x1) + 1 )/4 = 5/4.

Similary, for 1 and 1/2,

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = ((2x1) + 1)/2 = 3/2.

From the above analysis, we can conclude that the value of 1 and 1/4 is 5/4 and the value of 1 and 1/2 is 3/2.
