The casino game is played by a person called the shooter, who rolls two dice. There are two phases to the game. The first phase is called the 'come out' phase, and the second is called the 'point' phase. If the 'come out' roll of 2, 3, or 12, the shooter loses. If the 'come out' roll is a 7 or 11 , the shooter wins. Otherwise, the game progresses to the 'point' phase. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
(a) What is the probability that the players loses?
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 8 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below.

The gift basket contained: 4 tickets which cost $10.25 each, 12 boxes of candy which cost $2.50 each, a box of popcorn which costs $12, and 4 pairs of 3-D glasses which cost $4.25 each. Revenue is the amount of money the girls' basketball team brings in - its income. In this case, revenue is a function of number of tickets sold. Let x be the number of tickets sold. What is the revenue function? a. Revenue = f(x) = Cost is how much money the girls' basketball team spent. In this situation, cost is a constant function. What is the cost function?

What might be a good strategy for agame like this?You attempted to devise a good strategy by simulating several plays to see what might happen. Let’s try calcu-lating a strategy. a) On what roll would you expect to get a 6 for the firsttime?b) So, roll one time less than that.

If the total value of the two dice is 7 or 11, you immediately win the game. If the total value is 2, 3, or 12, you immediately lose. If the total value is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, you keep this value as a referenced point. Then, you continue rolling the dice until you obtain the same value as the referenced point then you win the game. However, if you obtain the value of 7 before the referenced point, then you lose. For example, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice until you get 4 (before 7) then you win. Similarly, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice but you get 7 (before 4) then you lose. What is the probability to win this game? You can solve this question either by - a simulation - in this case you have to answer one more question, i.e., on average how many times do you roll the dice for each game? (for a submission, you will need to…arrow_forwardIndicate why the give method for running a simulation is not accurate.A bag contains 4 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, and 6 green marbles. If marbles are drawn one-by-one and not replaced, use 0-1 to represent a red marble, 2-3 to represent blue, 4-6 for yellow, and 7-9 to represent a green marble.arrow_forward
- College admissions For high school students graduatingin 2007, college admissions to the nation’s most selectiveschools were the most competitive in memory. (The NewYork Times, “A Great Year for Ivy League Schools, butNot So Good for Applicants to Them,” April 4, 2007).Harvard accepted about 9% of its applicants, Stanford10%, and Penn 16%. Jorge has applied to all three.Assuming that he’s a typical applicant, he figures that hischances of getting into both Harvard and Stanford mustbe about 0.9%.a) How has he arrived at this conclusion?b) What additional assumption is he making?c) Do you agree with his conclusion?arrow_forwardEconomists theorize that the recent recession has affected men more than women because men are typically employed in industries that have been hit hardest by the recession. Women, on the other hand, are typically employed in services which are considered more recession resistant. A sample of 165 men and a sample of 140 women were drawn. In those samples, 20 men were unemployed, and 13 of the women were unemployed. Complete parts a and b below.
