A carnival game involves drawing a card from a deck of 40 cards, replacing it, shuffling the deck, and drawing another card. Thirty of the cards are blank and ten are labeled 8 tokens. Your prize is the sum of the cards you draw. What is the
expected payoff for this game?
4 tokens
2 tokens
8 tokens
O tokens

4 tokens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a given event is calculated as:

EV = (x₁*p₁ + x₂*p2 + ... + xₙ*pₙ)

Where xₙ is the n-th outcome, and pₙ is its probability.

In this case, our experiment is:

You draw two times.

We have 30 cards with no prize

We have 10 cards with a prize.

A total of 40 cards.

As we draw two times (and the first time we draw a card we put it back in the deck) we can consider the events as independent, so we can find the expected value per draw.

Now we can define:

x₁ = drawing a blank card = 0 tokens

The probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of blank cards and the total number of cards

p₁ = 30/40 = 3/4

x₂ = drawing a prized card = 8 tokens.

The probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of prized cards and the total number of cards:

p₂ = 10/40 = 1/4

Then the expected value per draw is:

EV = ( (3/4)*0 tokens + (1/4)* 8 tokens) = 2 tokens.

And we have two draws, then the expected value of two draws is two times the expected value per draw, this means that the expected value in our case is:

expected value = 2*(2 tokens) = 4 tokens.

The correct option is the first one, counting from the top.

the answer is d on edge

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
