HURRY) A game at the fair involves a wheel with seven sectors. Two of the sectors are red, two of the sectors are purple, two of the sectors are yellow, and one sector is blue. Landing on the blue sector will give 3 points, landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point, landing on a purple sector will give 0 points, and landing on a red sector will give –1 point. If you take one spin, what is your expected value?

The game is not fair

Step-by-step explanation:

A wheel with seven sectors:

Red Sectors  = 2   |  Probability  = 2/7

Purple sectors  = 2  |  Probability  = 2/7

Yellow sectors  = 2 |   Probability  = 2/7

Blue sectors  = 1  |  Probability  = 1/7

Landing on the blue sector will give 3 points,  => 3 * 1/7  = 3/7    points

landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point => 1 * 2/7 = 2/7   points

landing on a purple sector will give 0 points => 0 * 2/7  = 0   points

landing on a red sector will give –1 point.  =>  - 1 * 2/7  = -2/7 points

Expected value  =  3/7 + 2/7 + 0 - 2/7

= 3/7

Expected value  =  3/7

3/7   < 1/2

=> game is not fair

If expected value = 3.5/7 = 1/2  then game will be fair

hence if we make 3.5 points for Landing on the blue sector

then game will be fair.

the range of a function is the range of y-values for which it is defined, or exists. given that we are only looking at the y-values, we can already discount the first two answers as they deal with the domain of the function (range of x-values).

now, what we need to do is find the smallest and highest y-values for which the function is defined. if you'd like, you could take a ruler and start at the very bottom of the graph, find the lowest point, then move the ruler higher and higher until you reach the highest point. doing so either in your head or with an actual ruler, we can see that the lowest y-value is -5 and the highest y-value is -1.

the question now remains as to whether they are included in the range (fourth answer) or excluded (third answer). the key here is to recognise whether they are marked with an open or a closed circle. since both (-2, -5) and (2, -1) are marked with a closed circle, they are points that exist on the graph and are thus included in the range (note that if they were marked with an open circle like (4, -2) then that would signify that there is a break in the graph at that point).

thus, the fourth answer, (y | -5 ≤ y ≤ -1), is correct.

also note that usually it is good practice to scan your eye inbetween the highest and lowest point for any breaks in the graph - we do have one here at (4, -2), however -2 is still included in the range because there is another point that is included in the graph with the same y-value, ie. point (1, -2).

i hope that but if you require any further explanation don't hesitate to comment below.

the volume is the product of the area of the base, 3x(3x+4), and the height, 3x-1
