In your homework, you were introduced to a game, called Under-or-Over-Seven. It has many rules. Here is the particular rule that we are going to use for this question: a pair of fair dice is rolled once, and the resulting sum determines whether the player wins or loses his/her bet; the player wins $9 if the result of the roll is exactly equal to 7 and loses $3 otherwise. Compute the expected value of this game (i. e., the expected gain or loss).

EX=-$1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value of Probability Distribution

Assume a discrete probability distribution is

For

The expected value is

We have two possible outcomes from our random experience: The sum of the die is 7 or different from 7. If it sums 7, the player wins $9, otherwise, they lose $3. Thus

We must find the probability of having a 7. Each dice can be a 1, 2, 3 ,4 , 5, or 6. The combinations to sum 7 are 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+4, 5+2, and 6+1. That is 6 possibilities out of 36 in total. The probability of having a 7 is

The probability of not getting 7 is the negation of the previous event

The probability set is:

The expected value is:

Therefore, the player can expect to lose $1

what "following statement"?

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
