Math in Your Life: Between the Numbers
We mentioned in Math in Your Life on page 278 that changing the placement of commas can change the meaning of a sentence. For example:
A panda walks into a cafe and orders a bamboo sandwich. After finishing his meal, he pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter. The police arresting him ask, “Why did you do that?” The panda responds, “I have to because it says in my encyclopedia that a panda eats, shoots, and leaves.”
The panda has misplaced his commas and changed the meaning of the sentence. It should read “… that a panda eats shoots and leaves,” meaning that his diet consists of shoots and leaves.
Rewrite Sam I Am’s statement “I like green, eggs, and ham” to read correctly.

- Please sketch questions 1, 2 and 6arrow_forwardQUESTION 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.
