A carnival game costs $2 to play. A player draws a ball at random from a sack containing 1 white ball, 2 blue balls, 3 red balls, and 4 yellow balls. The payoff for drawing a particular color ball is as follows: white pays $5, blue pays $4, red pays $3 and yellow pays nothing. If X is the amount of money a player wins. Calculate E(X). Enter just a real number rounded off to two decimal places (no label).

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


.20




E(X) = 0.20; The player can expect to win an average of $0.20 for each play.

A toy making company has at least 300 squares of felt, 700 oz of stuffing, and 230 ft of trim to make dogs and dinosaurs. A dog uses 1 square of felt, 4 oz of stuffing, and 1 ft of trim. A dinosaur uses 2 squares of felt, 3 oz of stuffing, and 1 ft of trim.It costs the company $1.34 to make each dog and $1.64 for each dinosaur. The company wants to minimize its costs. What are the coefficients of the constraint inequality for trim?
