Suppose you toss a coin and will win $1 if it comes up heads. If it comes up tails, you toss again. This time you will receive $2 if it comes up heads. If it comes up tails, toss again. This time you will receive $4 if it is heads. Continue in this fashion for a total of 10 flips of the coin, after which you receive nothing if it comes up tails. What is the mathematical expectation for this game?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The winnings are in G.P. : 1, 2, 4, ..... till 10 toss.

[tex]$a_n = 1 \times 2^{n-1}\ \ \ \forall \ n = 1,2,3,4,....,10$[/tex]

[tex]$a_n$[/tex] denotes the winnings on the [tex]$n^{th}$[/tex] toss.

The probability of earning amount [tex]$a_n$[/tex] on the [tex]$n^{th}$[/tex] toss is = [tex]$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$E(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{10} \ a_n \times \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n $[/tex]

            [tex]$=\sum_{n=1}^{10} \ 1 \times \frac{2^{n-1}}{2^n} $[/tex]

           [tex]$=\sum_{n=1}^{10} \ \frac{1}{2}$[/tex]

Sum of the 1st n terms of the A.P. is :

[tex]$=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d] $[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{10}{2}[2\times \frac{1}{2}+(10-1)\times 0] $[/tex]

= 5

Therefore, E(X) = 5

Hence the expected value of the game is 5

Answer:

Carlos rode his bike 1 2/3 miles to Tim's house then 1 2/3 to the park. What number line shows u the total number of miles that Carlos rode from house to the park

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance biked to Tim's house = 1 2/3 miles

Distance biked to park = 1 2/3 miles

Total number of miles Carlos rode from house to park :

1 2/3 + 1 2/3

5/3 + 5/3

(5 + 5) / 3

10 /3

= 3 1/3 miles

B. 1296 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a square pyramid, multiply the base by itself twice, then divide the height by 3. After getting both answers, multiply the answers.

In this case, the base is 18.

The height is 12.

First, we must multiply the base by itself twice.

18⋅18 = 324.

Next, divide the height by 3.

12/3 = 4.

Now that we have both answers, we multiply them.

324 ⋅ 4 = 1,296.

Therefore, 1,296 cm^3 is the volume of the square pyramid.

Answers

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (1, 6) is a solution, substitute x = 1, y = 6 into the left side of both equations and if the value obtained equals the right side then it is a solution.

10(1) - 6 = 10 - 6 = 4 ≠ - 6

- 10(1) + 5(6) = - 10 + 30 = 20 ≠ 30

Then (1, 6 ) is not a solution to the system

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we are going to do the mean :)

you add all the number together and divide by the same number

you should get 354/22 which is 16.0909....... since its round to tenth place, we place it at 16.1.

2)  median, for this one, you have to lay out the numbers and see which one is in the middle, in 14,15,16,17,19, 16 is the median.

3)  the number that appear the most is the mode, so right now we have

Since, the line is dotted line, equation will be an inequality (having sign of < or >)

Now shaded region is below the line so equation of the inequality will be,

Any point below the dotted line will be the solution of the given inequality.

Therefore, blue dot on the dotted line represented by y = 3 will not be the solution of the inequality.
