Solve the problem.R and C play a game by each showing none, one, or two fingers. If each player shows the same number of fingers, R pays C a number equal to the total number of fingers shown. If the two players each show a different number of fingers, C pays R a number equal to the total number of fingers shown.(a) Give the payoff matrix.(b) Suppose R shows one finger 50% of the time and two fingers 50% of the time, and C always shows two fingers. Calculate the expected value for this strategy.

Solve the problem.A landscaping company sells 40-pound bags of top soil. The actual weight x of a bag, however, may differ from the advertised weight by as much as 0.75 pound. Write an inequality involving absolute value that expresses the relationship between the actual weight x of a bag and 40 pounds. Solve the inequality, and express the answer in interval form.

A. |40 - x|? 0.75; [39.25, 40.75] B. |x + 0.75| ? 40; [39.25, ?) C. |x|- 40 ? 0.75 ; (-?, 40.75] D. |40 + x| ? 0.75; [39.25, 40.75]
