A jar is filled with 74 different colored marbles, 10 of which are red, 38 of which are blue, and 26 of which are green. A player is asked to draw a single marble from the jar and if they draw a red marble they will win $20, if they draw a blue marble they will lose $10, and if they draw a green marble they will lose $5. You may round your answer to the nearest cent

Solution :

Colored marble            Prize

     Red ----  10               20

    Blue --- 38                 10

   Green --- 26               5

P(red)  =  10/74  =  5/37

P(blue)  =  38/74  =  19/37

P( green)  = 26/74  =  13/37

Therefore,

 X      →     Red          Blue      Green

P(X)           5/37        19/37      13/37

The expected values are :

= -4.189

Thus it is not profitable to play the game.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
