At a school fair, each student spins the spinner, which is equally likely to land on each of the four sectors. The spinner shows how many tokens the student wins or loses. What is the expected number of tokens that a student will win on each spin

3 tokens.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the roulette image, therefore we will suppose one that I will leave as an attached image:

The main thing to keep in mind in this case is that the probabilities are the same, therefore you don't have to take that into account, just operate with the values of each sector, therefore the expected value would be:

expected value = profit - loss

expected value = (5 + 5) - (4 + 3)

expected value = 10 - 7 = 3

This means that the number of tokens waiting for the student to earn for each spin is 3 tokens.

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

there are 25 people coming to the party

step-by-step explanation:

the text says that there will be 22 children at this party, 1 teacher, and 2 parents. so if you add them all together (22+1+2) it will equal 25. (=25)
