A man went to Atlantic City with $2000 and placed 100 bets of $20 each, one after another, on the same number on the roulette wheel. There are 38 numbers on the wheel, and the gaming casino pays 35 times the amount bet if the ball drops into the bettor’s numbered slot in the roulette wheel. In addition, the bettor receives back the original $20 bet. Estimate how much money the man is expected to win or lose in Atlantic City.
A bag contains 20 marbles. 9 of them are red, 4 are black, and the rest are gold. Picking a red marble is worth $18. Black marbles are worth $10, and Gold marbles are worth $5.
If you are charged $10 each time you pick a marble, how much should you expect to win or lose overall by playing this game 5 times?
(You don't need a dollar sign, just the number. If you expect to lose money, use a - for negative)
Plz explain.
My sister Donna started a trading card collection last year, but unfortunately, she can’t seem to keep track of her cards. Recently she took all of her cards with her on the bus to school. On the way there, some bullying sixth graders stole ¼ of her cards. Then she dropped six cards in the gutter when she got off the bus. She went to class and lost 2/3 of her remaining cards when she passed them around during show-and-tell. Then she gave three cards to her best friend. The teacher, Mr. Purcell, had a stash of trading cards which he let her pick through, giving her enough to increase her total by 1/5. When she went to recess, she found eight cards on the playground. Then at lunch, she accidentally threw half of her remaining cards away in her lunch bag. When she came home, she had only ten cards left. How many cards did Donna have when she left for school?

- Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardThe college hiking club is having a fund raiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings.

Now every weekend evening in the summer your neighbors and their kids come over to enjoy conversation, games, and cool beverages with you and your family. One especially cunning parent has managed to convince the neighborhood children to put down their tablets and phones and play by catching (and sometimes releasing) fireflies. You make a game out of it by seeing how many they can catch every 15 minutes. Throughout the course of a long evening, you collect the data below, which shows how many fireflies the kids catch every 15 minutes. Assuming this data comes from a normally distributed population – can you conclude that the average number of fireflies caught after 10 pm was greater than the average caught before 10 pm?
