In the carnival game chuck-a-luck, three dice are rolled. You make a bet on a particular number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) showing up. The payout is 1 to 1 if that number shows on (exactly) one die, 2 to 1 if it shows on two dice, and 3 to 1 if it shows up on all three. (You lose your initial stake if your number does not show on any of the dice.) If you make a $1 bet on the number three, what is your expected net winnings? (answer to 3 decimal places)

Construct a derivation (for the following argument) from the premise to the conclusion, only using these :(&I, &E, ∨I, ∨E, ≡ I, ≡ E ,⊃ I, ⊃ E,∼ I, ∼ E)
(a) Premise 1: W ⊃ X
Premise 2: X ⊃ Y
Premise 3: Y ⊃ Z
Premise 4: W
Conclusion: W & Z
(b)Premise 1: (A & B) ≡ C
Premise 2: A ≡ B
Conclusion: A ≡ C
(c)Premise 1: B ⊃ D
Premise 2: C ⊃ D
Conclusion: (B ∨ C) ⊃ D
(d) Premise 1: B ⊃ C
Conclusion: ∼ C ⊃∼ B

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 34.8 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of ?1=0.0765 N . A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of ?2=0.100 N . The Coulomb force constant is ?=1/(4??0)=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2 . Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, ?1 and ?2 , if ?1 is initially less than ?2 . find q1 and q2.

Use Java for the following;
Part 1
n!= n * (n –1)* (n–2)* ...* 3 * 2 * 1
For example, 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
Write a function called factorial that takes as input an integer. Your function should verify that the input is positive (i.e. it is greater than 0). Then, it should compute the value of the factorial using a for loop and return the value. In main, display a table of the integers from 0 to 30 along with their factorials. At some point around 15, you will probably see that the answers are not correct anymore. Think about why this is happening.

Run the following analyses using R.
Thirty-six Midwestern junior high students were randomly selected to participate in a study about the effectiveness of six different math curricula. The researcher randomly assigned six students to each of the six conditions (nj = 6 for all groups). At the end of a lesson on fractions, students were administered a 10-point quiz. Each student’s score is in the table below:

If X is a random variable with the given distribution, determine – without calculations! – which of the two probabilities is higher or if they have to be equal. Explain your answer.
(a) P{−1 6 X 6 4} and P{10 6 X 6 15}, where X ∼ Uniform(−10, 20).
(b) P{−1 6 X 6 4} and P{10 6 X 6 15}, where X ∼ Normal(2, 3).

Of the two officers selected from a group of officers, the probability of the first being male and the second being female is 1/4. Since the ratio of male civil servants to female civil servants is 1/2, how many civil servants are there in the group? b) One bag contains 6 white and 4 black balls. What is the probability that one of the 3 balls drawn randomly from this bag is white and the other two are black?
