A rat is trapped in a maze. Initially he has to choose one of two directions. If he goes to the right, then he will wander around in the maze for three minutes and will then return to his original position. If he goes to the left, then with probability 1/3 he will depart the maze after two minutes of travelling, and with probability 2/3 he will return to his initial position after 5 minutes of travelling. Assuming that the rat is at all times equally likely to go to the left or to the right, what is the expected number of minutes the rat will be trapped in the maze?

after 2 minutes. And with probability 
the rat will return to the starting point after 5 minutes of wandering.![E(X)=[(3+E(X)\times\frac{1}{2} ]+[2\times\frac{1}{6} ]+[(5+E(X)\times\frac{2}{6} ]\\E(X)=\frac{3}{2} +\frac{E(X)}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{3} +\frac{E(X)}{3} \\E(X)-\frac{E(X)}{2}-\frac{E(X)}{3}=\frac{3}{2} +\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{3} \\\frac{6E(X)-3E(X)-2E(X)}{6}=\frac{9+2+10}{6}\\\frac{E(X)}{6}=\frac{21}{6}\\E(X)=21](/tpl/images/0529/0707/852f6.png)

Asap for seven months an ice creams vendor collects data showing the number of cones sold a day (c) and the degrees above 70 degrees f the vendor finds that there is a positive linear association between c and t that is the best modeled by this equation c=3.7t+98 which statement is true? the model predicts that the average number of cones sold in a day is 3.7 the model predicts that the average number of cones sold i a day is 98 a model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degres f the total of number of cones sold increases by 3.7 the model predicts for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degrees f the total number of cones sold increasingly by 98
