Concept explainers
An urn contains four red balls and six white balls. Suppose that two balls are drawn at random from the urn, and let X be the number of red balls drawn. The probability of obtaining two red balls depends on whether the balls are drawn with or without replacement. The purpose of this project is to show that the expected number of red balls drawn is not affected by whether or not the first ball is replaced before the second ball is drawn. The idea for this project was taken from the article “An Unexpected Expected Value,” by Stephen Schwartzman, which appeared in the February 1993 issue of The Mathematics Teacher.

- 3. Mary needs to choose between two investments: One pays 5% compounded annually, and the other pays 4.9% compounded monthly. If she plans to invest $22,000 for 3 years, which investment should she choose? How much extra interest will she earn by making the better choice?

- 2. Graph the function f(x)=e* −1. Label three points on the graph (one should be the intercept) with corresponding ordered pairs (round to one decimal place) and label the asymptote with its equation. Write the domain and range of the function in interval notation. Make your graph big enough to see all important features. You may show the final graph only.arrow_forwardansewer both questions in a very detailed manner . thanks!arrow_forwardQuestion Considering the definition of f(x) below, find lim f(x).
