Could you explain how the inequalities u in (0,1), we have 0 ≤ X ≤u-Y for any 0 ≤Y<u and u in (1,2), we either have 0 ≤ X ≤u-Y for any u - 1 < Y<1, or 0≤x≤1 for any 0 ≤Y≤u - 1 are obtained please. They're in the solutions but don't understand how they were derived.
Can you please explain how to find the bounds of the integrals for X and Y and also explain how to find the inequalites that satisfy X and Y. I've looked at the solutions but its not clear to me on how the inequalities and bounds of the integral were obtained. If possible could you explain how to find the bounds of the integrals by sketching a graph with the region of integration. Thanks
QUESTION 18 - 1 POINT Jessie is playing a dice game and bets $9 on her first roll. If a 10, 7, or 4 is rolled, she wins $9. This happens with a probability of . If an 8 or 2 is rolled, she loses her $9. This has a probability of J. If any other number is rolled, she does not win or lose, and the game continues. Find the expected value for Jessie on her first roll. Round to the nearest cent if necessary. Do not round until the final calculation. Provide your answer below:
