a.
To determine: the expected value of the game.
The expected value of the game is 4.5
Given information:
The square root of the expected value of squared deviations from the mean,
Concept Used:
The mean of a discrete probability distribution, where x is each value of random variables and
Calculation:
Calculate the mean using the formula for the mean of probability distribution.
b.
To determine: the standard deviation of the value of the prizes
The standard deviation of the value of the prizes is 13.96.
Given information:
The square root of the expected value of squared deviations from the mean,
Calculation:
The expected value of the game is 4.5.
Substitute all the values in
c.
To explain: why the standard deviation is so large.
The standard deviation is large since the data points are spread out over a large range of values.
Given information:
The square root of the expected value of squared deviations from the mean,
Calculation:
The expected value of the game is 4.5.
The standard deviation of the value of the prizes is 13.96. Notice that the standard deviation
d.
To explain: why are willing to pay $5 to play this game.
No, since the expected value is lower there is no high chance to win money in the long run.
Given information:
The square root of the expected value of squared deviations from the mean,
Calculation:
The expected value of the game is 4.5.
The standard deviation of the value of the prizes is 13.96. Whereas, the fee is $5 which is higher than the expected value.
Since the expected value is lower there is no high chance to win money in the long run.

The incoming water can be apportioned in different volumes to each turbine, so the goal of this project is to determine how to distribute water among the turbines to give the maximum total energy production for any rate of flow. Using experimental evidence and Bernoulli's equation, the following quadratic models were determined for the power output of each turbine, along with the allowable flows of operation: 6 KW₁ = (-18.89 +0.1277Q1-4.08.10 Q) (170 - 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW2 = (-24.51 +0.1358Q2-4.69-10 Q¹²) (170 — 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW3 = (-27.02 +0.1380Q3 -3.84-10-5Q) (170 - 1.6-10-ºQ) where 250 Q1 <1110, 250 Q2 <1110, 250 <3 < 1225 Qi = flow through turbine i in cubic feet per second KW = power generated by turbine i in kilowattsarrow_forward
