Suppose that you and a friend are playing cards and you decide to make a friendly wager. The bet is that you will draw two cards without replacement from a standard deck. If both cards are spades, your friend will pay you $225. Otherwise, you have to pay your friend $12. Step 2 of 2 : If this same bet is made 738 times, how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.

Win $1,423.59

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck, 13 of which are spades.

The probability if drawing two consecutive spades without replacement is:

Therefore, there is a 3 in 51 chance of you winning $225 and a 48 in 51 chance of you losing $12.

The expected value for 738 games is:

You are expected to win $1,423.59.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
