A fair coin is flipped twice. If both flips come up heads, you lose $6. If at least one flip comes up tails, you win $2. Let X be the random variable that corresponds to your winnings in dollars. Ex: X = 2 if you win $2 and X = -2 if you lose $2. What is the expected value of X? E[X] = ____

Q. 1 t is estimated that 809% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
In the game of roulette, a player can place a $10 bet on the number 13 and have a probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on 13, the player gets to keep the 38 $10 paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional $350. Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's $10. Find the expected value E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of chance, then E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per game the player can expect to lose. The expected value is $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
The statement below is true/false: A type II error is defined as rejecting H1 when it is true. Producers’ risk in rejecting product with good quality is a type I error. Power of a test is the probability of accepting H0 when it is false
In the game of roulette, a player can place a $9 bet on the number 29 and have a probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on 29, the player gets to keep the 38 1 $9 paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional $315. Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's $9, Find the expected value E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of chance, then E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per game the player can expect to lose. The expected value is $.5 (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Five thousand tickets are sold at $1 each for a charity raffle. Tickets are to be drawn at random and monetary prizes awarded as follows: 1 prize of $1000, 3 prizes of $200, 5 prizes of $20, and 20 prizes of $5. What is the expected value of this raffle if you buy 1 ticket Let X be the random variable for the amount won on a single raffle ticket. E(X)= dollars

Ted is not particularly creative. He uses the pickup line "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together." The random variable x is the number of women Ted approaches before encountering one who reacts positively. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.

No, the random variablex is categorical instead of numerical. O C. No, the sum of all the probabilities is not equal to 1. OD. No, the random variable x's number values are not associated with probabilities. O E. No, not every probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive.
1 In the game of roulette, a player can place a $8 bet on the number 6 and have a probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on 6, the player gets to keep the $8 paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional $280. Otherwise, 38 the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's $8. Find the expected value E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of chance, then E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per game the player can expect to lose. The expected value is $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Jay has $500 in the bank when he decides to try a savings experiment.On each day i ∈ [1..30], Jay flips a fair coin. If it comes up heads, hedeposits i dollars into the bank; if it comes up tails, he withdraws $10.How many dollars should he expect to have in the bank after 30 days?Please begin by describing the probability space.
At a “busy time," a telephone exchange is very near capacity, so callers have difficulty placing their calls. It may be of interest to know the number of attempts necessary in order to make a connection. Suppose that we let p = 0.05 be the probability of connection during a busy time. We are interested in knowing the probability that 5 attempts are necessary for a successful call. Determine the correct parameter. O a.r= 0, x = 5 O b. NONE O C.r= 0, n = 5 d.r = 1, x = 5
