1 you are offered a gamble on the toss of a coin. if the coin shows tails, you lose $100. if the coin shows heads, you win $150. Yes one can accept it.
As per the given data:
If you toss the coin.
Coin shows tails [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] lose $ 100
Coin shows heads [tex]$\rightarrow$[/tex] win $ 150
We would consider expected gain for us in each scenario.
Since, the probability of head is,
[tex]P(H) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The probability of Tail is,
[tex]P(T)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, expected gain [tex]$=150 \times \frac{1}{2}+(-100) \times \frac{1}{2}$$$[/tex]
= 75 - 50
= $ 25
Since, gain is positive number of 25 .
We can say on an average we can gain some Profit.
Hence one would accept the offer.

Bounty paper towels cost $8.49 for 8 rolls. Brawny paper towels cost $13.99 for 12 rolls. Which is the better buy?
Answer:
Bounty Paper Towels is the better deal
Step-by-step explanation:
8.49 divided by 8 = 1.06125 ($1.01)
13.99 divided by 12 = ~1.16583 ($1.16)
The Brawny is more expensive per roll, so Bounty would be a better deal
A triangle has one side that is 5 inches long and another that is 7 inches long. How many different lengths, in inches,are possible for the last side of the triangle?
Answer:
2 < c < 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the last side of the triangle = c
The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. Let's say we have triangle ABC, where a = 5 inches and b = 7 inches
a + b > c (1)
a + c > b (2)
b + c > a (3)
From (1);
a + b > c
7 + 5 > c
c < 12
From (2):
a + c > b
7 + c > 5
7 - 5 < c
c > 2
From (3):
b + c > a
5 + c > 7
c > 7 - 5
c > 2
So the possible lengths of c are: 2 < c < 12

Step-by-step explanation:
Let use the first of the medians. Medians AX.
Median AX is the midpoint of BC so our median is
[tex] \frac{1}{2} (b + c) - a[/tex]
Let use the second median.
Median BY is the midpoint of AC so our median is
[tex] \frac{1}{2} (a + c) - b[/tex]
Let use the final median.
Median CZ is the midpoint of AB so our median is
[tex] \frac{1}{2} (a + b) - c[/tex]
Now add all them up
[tex] \frac{1}{2} (b + c ) - a + \frac{1}{2} (a + c) - b + \frac{1}{2} (a + b) - c[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{2} b + \frac{1}{2} c - a + \frac{1}{2} a + \frac{1}{2} c - b + \frac{1}{2}a + \frac{1}{2} b - c[/tex]
Add like terms.
[tex] \frac{1}{2} b + \frac{1}{2} b - b = 0[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{2} a + \frac{1}{2} a - a = 0[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{2} c + \frac{1}{2} c - c = 0[/tex]
[tex]0 + 0 + 0 = 0[/tex]

Question 4 (1 point)
The image shows quadrilateral ABCD.
Find the area of ABCD. Explain or show your reasoning.
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the side length of each side.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
=> 3^2 + 4^2 = x^2
=> 9 + 16 = x^2
=> x = 5
By applying the same formula for each side, we will get that each side is 5 units.
So, the area = 5*5 = 25
The quadrilateral is a square and the area of square is 25 square units.
What is a quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is 2-dimensional geometric closed shape and a type of polygon that has four sides, four vertices and four angles. It is formed by joining four non-collinear points.
For the given situation,
The quadrilateral ABCD has points A(0,4), B(3,0), C(7,3), D(4,7).
The distance these points can be found by
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2} }[/tex]
AB = [tex]d=\sqrt{(3-0)^{2}+(0-4)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=\sqrt{9+16}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=\sqrt{25}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]AB=5[/tex]
BC = [tex]d=\sqrt{(7-3)^{2}+(3-0)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]BC=\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]BC=5[/tex]
CD = [tex]d=\sqrt{(4-7)^{2}+(7-3)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]CD=\sqrt{(-3)^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]CD=5[/tex]
DA = [tex]d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(7-4)^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]DA=\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2} }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]DA=5[/tex]
Since AB = BC = CD = DA, the quadrilateral is a square.
The formula of area of quadrilateral is
[tex]A=(side)^{2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]A=5^{2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]A=25[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the quadrilateral is a square and the area of square is 25 square units.

A quality control expert at a drink bottling factory took a random sample of 9 bottles from a
production run of over 1,000 bottles and measured the amount of liquid in each bottle in the
sample. The sample data were roughly symmetric with a mean of 505 mL and a standard
deviation of 6 mL.
Based on this sample, which of the following is a 95% confidence interval for the mean
amount of liquid per bottle (in mL) in this production run?
Answer: It's in the screenshot
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of liquid per bottle (in mL) in this production run is (500.39, 509.61).
What is a t-distribution confidence interval?The confidence interval is:
[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.t is the critical value.n is the sample size.s is the standard deviation for the sample.The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 9 - 1 = 8 df, is t = 2.306.
The other parameters are given as follows:
[tex]\overline{x} = 505, s = 6, n = 9[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 505 - 2.306\frac{6}{\sqrt{9}} = 500.39[/tex]
[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 505 + 2.306\frac{6}{\sqrt{9}} = 509.61[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of liquid per bottle (in mL) in this production run is (500.39, 509.61).

Karolyn puts 4,500 into a life insurance policy that pays 7.5% annual interest. If no additional investment is made into the policy how much accumulated interest should Karolyn expect at the end of 10 years?
Answer: $4,774.64
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount after 10 years assuming 7.5% compound interest is:
= Amount * ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of years
= 4,500 * ( 1 + 7.5%)¹⁰
= $9,274.64
The accumulated interest is:
= Amount after 10 years - Present amount
= 9,274.64 - 4,500
= $4,774.64

20) If the area of a rectangular playground is
p^2 -6p - 7 square feet, what is the perimeter of the
playground?
Answer:
Explanation:
Write an equation to solve the problem.
Area of rectangle = L(w)
Assuming that the width measures x meters, the length measures x + 5 meters.
500 = x(x + 5)
500 =
x
2
+ 5x
0 =
x
2
+ 5x - 500
As you may already know, a trinomial of the form
a
x
2
+ bx + c, a = 1, you must find 2 numbers that multiply to c and that add to b. Two numbers that multiply to -500 and add to +5 are +25 and -20
0 = (x + 25)(x - 20)
x = -25 and 20
Since a negative length is impossible, the width mesures 20 meters and the length measures 25 meters.
