Two number cubes are rolled to determine how a token moves on a game board. The sides of each number cube are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. There are two options describing how the token will be moved.

Option A: If the product is even, move forward 7 spaces. Otherwise, move backward 5.

Option B: If the product is even, move forward 5 spaces. Otherwise, move backward 4.

Use mathematical expectation to determine which option offers the greater likelihood of moving closer to the finish line on the game board.

Which statement best explains the better option?

The mathematical expectation of Option A is 2.75. The mathematical expectation of Option B is 4. Option A offers a greater likelihood of advancing to the finish line.

The mathematical expectation of Option A is 2.75. The mathematical expectation of Option B is 4. Option B offers a greater likelihood of advancing to the finish line.

The mathematical expectation of Option A is 4. The mathematical expectation of Option B is 2.75. Option A offers a greater likelihood of advancing to the finish line.

The mathematical expectation of Option A is 4. The mathematical expectation of Option B is 2.75. Option B offers a greater likelihood of advancing to the finish line.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
