We want to get the expected value for the given experiment, we will see that it is equal to -1/6 points, so the correct option is "negative one-sixth"

For an experiment with events {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}, each one with probability {p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}, the expected value is given by:

EV = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

Here we have two events:

Let's find the probabilities of each one of these.

She gets 9 points if the sum of the two dice is equal to 8 or 12.

Each dice has 6 outcomes.

Then a combination of two dice has a total of 6*6 = 36 outcomes.

The outcomes that add to 8 or 12 are:

dice 1   dice 2  sum

2           6            8

3           5            8

4           4            8

5          6             8

6           2            8

6           6            12

So 6 out of the 36 outcomes, then the probability of this event is:

p₁ = 6/36 = 1/6

And the other event is for all the other outcomes, so the probability is just:

p₂ = 5/6

Then the expected value is:

EV = (+ 9 points)*(1/6) + (-2 points)*(5/6)  = -1/6 points.

So the correct option is negative one-sixth.

Answer:

12 km/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert to kilometers per minute, we are given 1/2 of a kilometer per 1/24 of a minute. First, we must convert to 1 minute. We can multiply both sides by 24 to get 24/2 = 12 kilometers per minute. Since we now have it in kilometers per minute, we have the answer.

Answer:

12 km per min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of 3 kg carrots = 1.80

Price of 1 kg carrots = 1.80 ÷ 3 = 0.6

Price of 2 kg carrots = 0.6 x 2 = 1.2

Remaining amount = 3.45 - 1.2 = 2.25

Price of 5 kg potatoes = 2.25

Price of 1kg potatoes = 2.25 ÷ 5 = 0.45

Now

Cost of 4 kg of carrots = 0.6 x 4 = €2.4

Cost of 2 kg of potatoes = 0.45 x 2 = €0.9

The total cost of 4kg of carrots and 2 kg of potatoes is £3.30

Total cost is the product of the cost of each unit and the number of units purchased.

As it is given that the cost of 3 kg carrot is £1.80, therefore, the cost of 1 kg of carrot can be written as,

[tex]\text{Cost of 1 kg carrot}=\dfrac{\text{Total cost of carrot}}{\text{Total amount of carrot}}[/tex]

                              [tex]=\dfrac{\£1.80}{3}\\\\= \£0.60[/tex]

Thus, the cost of 1 kg carrot is £0.60.

Now., as it is given that the cost of 2 kg carrot and 5 kg potatoes is £3.45, therefore, the cost of 5 kg potatoes can be written as,

[tex]\text{Total cost}=\text{Cost of 2 kg carrot}+\text{Cost of 5 kg potatoes}[/tex]

[tex]3.45= (0.60 \times 2) + \text{Cost of 5 kg Potatoes}\\\\\text{Cost of 5 kg Potatoes} = 2.25[/tex]

Further, the cost of each kg of potatoes can be written as,

[tex]\text{Cost of 1kg of potatoes}=\dfrac{\text{Cost of 5 kg Potatoes}}{\text{Total amount of potatoes}}[/tex]

                                      [tex]=\dfrac{2.25}{5}\\\\=0.45[/tex]

Thus, the cost of each kg of potatoes is £0.45.

Further,  the total cost of 4kg of carrots and 2 kg of potatoes can be written as,

[tex]\text{Total cost }=\text{Cost of 4kg of carrots} +\text{Cost of 2 kg of potatoes} \\\\\text{Total cost }=(4 \times 0.60)+(2\times 0.45)\\\\\text{Total cost }= 2.24+0.90=\£3.3[/tex]

Hence, the total cost of 4kg of carrots and 2 kg of potatoes is £3.30

We will have 16 white counters in the bag.

Given that there are  blue, red, and white counters in a bag in the ratio 16:3:2, the total number of balls will be:

If there are 112 more blue counters than white counters, then;

number of blues = number of white + 112

16x = 2x + 112

14x = 112

x = 8

Number of white counters = 2x = 2(8) = 16

y=(-5/2)x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define the equation of a line.

Equation of a line is written in the form y=ax+b where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Step 2: Write the given parameters

(x1,y1)=(-2,1)

m=-5/2

Using the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=-5/2(x-(-2))

y-1=-5/2(x+2)

y-1=(-5x-10)/2

By cross multiplication,

2(y-1)=-5x-10

2y-2=-5x-10

2y=-5x-10+2

2y=-5x-8

y=(-5x-8)/2

y=(-5/2)x-4

Answer:

1 oz of cream cheese to every 2 oz of condensed milk

Step-by-step explanation:

We can completely disregard whipped topping because it does not ask for it.

We have 6 ounces of cream cheese to 12 ounces of condense milk. We can write this as a ration:

6:12

6 oz cream cheese:12 oz condensed milk

The question is basically asking to simplify 6:12

Since the greatest commond factor is 6, we can divide both sides by 6 and get:

1:2

Therefore, there is 1 oz of cream cheese to every 2 oz of condensed milk

x = 4/5

Answer:

  x < -3 or x > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the factors is 4th-degree, and the leading coefficient is 1 (positive).

The factors tell you the following about the zeros:

  x = -3 . . . sign change from + to -

  x = -1 . . . graph touches, but no sign change. - on either side of x=-1

  x = 4 . . . sign change from - to +

__

The function will be positive for x < -3 and for x > +4.

_____

Additional comments

The value of the function is zero when any of its factors is zero. The value of a factor changes sign when the value of x changes from one side of the 0 to the other. For example, here, we have x+1 as a factor, so x=-1 is a zero. When x = -0.9, the factor is positive (-0.9 +1 = 0.1). When x = -1.1, the factor is negative (-1.1 +1 = -0.1). If this factor were to the first power, it would cause the value of the function to change sign at x=-1.

However, the factor (x+1) has an even power: (x+1)^2. That means when the factor is negative, its square is positive, and when the factor is positive, its square is positive. In short, the factor (x+1)^2 causes the function to be zero at x=-1, but does not make the function change sign there.

The product of all of these factors will result in a polynomial with x^4 as the highest-degree term. That means the function is of even degree. The leading coefficient is 1, so is positive, and the function will generally have a U-shape. The left-most (odd-degree) zero will be where the function changes sign from positive to negative. The right-most (odd-degree) zero will be where the function changes sign from negative to positive. Those zeros are x=-3 and x=+4, respectively. There are no places between these where the function changes sign, so these zeros are the ends of the regions where the function is positive (>0).

Answer:

c(2) = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation says that the first term of the sequence is -20.

The second equation is saying that to find any term of the sequence, add 10 to the previous term.

c(2) = c(2-1) + 10

c(2) = c(1) + 10

c(2) = -20  + 10 = -10

Answer:

[tex]y \leqslant -x + 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation of the line with either inequality sign, like so:

[tex]y \geqslant -x + 1[/tex]

Then check to see if the equation is true. The easiest way to do this is to plug the coordinates (0,0) into the equation:

[tex]0 \geqslant -0 + 1 \\ 0 \geqslant 1[/tex]

Since 0 > 1 is false, you know that the correct inequality must be:

[tex]y \leqslant -x + 1[/tex]

If you want to check this, plug the coordinates (0,0) into the equation:

[tex]0 \leqslant -0 + 1 \\ 0 \leqslant 1[/tex]

Since 0 < 1 is true, you know this equation is correct.
