no. if you worked it out over 60 games it would work out like this:
ii) 3/5x60=36
36x4= 144

1/5x60=12
12x$0= 0

1/5x60=12
12x (-8)= -96

144-96=$40

Then you do the same for iii and its $8 less... thats if the question is asking for all of the 60games.. but if its just the one game. then im wrong. but its hard to tell but the question

 

[danieljarvis]

ahh i see what your getting at now.

im not sure, ive never seen a question worked out like that on financial expectation, but it seems to be logical.

in my view a financial expectation is the expectation of ONE game. but i cant seem to find a definition anywhere in my books, so im probably wrong

 

[Brookie7]

ha! who knows. im starting not to care anymore. i just wanna get into uni, and one day be a teacher you?

 

[danieljarvis]

your right, what are we doing its 20 past 12 night after our last maths exam and we're debating over a fucking question?!?! ridiculous!

yeah get to uni, depending on marks, id love something in sports ( my life ) , human movemen science course is my number 1.. but i dont think ill get that.. also want to do an atmospheric science course! but, yeah being a teacher would be cool.. ( pdhpe of course )

wat teaching course u wana do>?

 

[Jayphen]

Jarvis is right, just for the record.

 

[danieljarvis]

good evening steven

 

[rego2]

yeh that actual hsc mark, i dont believe they can do that.. my maths teacher told me if my marks were in the mid 90s that they would stay that way. so im guna believe him for my own sanity

umm i thats odd.. would anyone back up his theory?

lets say i score average 70% in my assignment and 50% in my trials and then got 93% in the HSC exam.
Those that mean my mark would stay at 93%? or would it be add together with all the other mark then average it??

 

[Brookie7]

i was just about to write the same thing about the time, and its so so lame that im sitting at the computer right now talking about maths, when im meant to of finished it forever. most NORMAL peopel would be celbrating hahaha.
i wanna do primary teaching at wollongong. what uni's did u apply for??

sorry i should have specified.

he meant the mid 90's all year. assessment mark was 95 i think. so yeah, its not just one good exam can be a quick fix to an average year.

brooke - lol, yeah on that note im guna go to bed ill make up for my lack of celebration this weekend! i applied to UTS (kuringai) , Macquarie, UWS and Canberra in ranked order.

my answer is as follows.

there is a 3/5 (0.6) chance of winning $4,
so 0.6 X $4 = $2.40

there is a 1/5 (0.2) chance of winning $0,
so 0.2 X $0 = $0

there is a 1/5 (0.2) chance of losing $8,
so 0.2 X -8 = -$1.60

Now add them up, 2.40 + 0 - 1.60 = $0.80

Then you times the financial expectation ($0.80) by the amount of times (60) and you get = $48

(I think)

I see what you're doing..

But the question asks for the financial expectation of the game. If it asked for the financial expectation of 60 attempts at the game, then your answer would be right - but the financial expectation of the game itself is $0.80

 

[Brookie7]

yeah i think im starting to agree. but it was a crappy question cause it got me lol

 

[Rnb Producer]

hahahahah geeeez, this site is hektik, who ever put up those answers then thanx, i just compared them with what i got and fakkkkkkkin im a stupid kent.....

[danieljarvis]

me and jayphen are right cos we're shit hot and girls like us

 

[Smartie87]

what about low 90s whats that get aligned to normally?

100% in general maths gets scaled down to 88 or 89 afaik

Nooooooo! u can still get a UAI of 100 doing general!!!! If u do well in any subject, it doesnt matter!! It only effects the people who only go average. A chick at my school did general and got a UAI of 98! Your HSC exam mark NEVER gets changed.... u keep that. The ONLY thing that gets changed is your school assessment. and im 100% sure on that.... they cant change ur exam mark from 95 to 89 cuz lots of ppl did good

 

[Peartie]

Using the ur answers i got me abt 96

 

[Casmira]

shit I didnt times 0.80 or 0.67 by 48, i'll probably only get 1 mark for it then

 

[GiantSloth]
