The total combinations of 5 numbers that can be made from 59 numbers is:

59C5 = 5,006,386

So the probability of winning is:

P = 1 / 5,006,386

P = 1.997 x 10^-7

 

So the expected payoff is:

P = $1,000,000 (1.997 x 10^-7) - $1 (1 - 1.997 x 10^-7)

<span>P = - $0.80           (loss)</span>

Two numbers have a sum of 1,212 and a difference of 518. What are the two numbers?
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two numbers are

518

694

Step-by-step explanation:

As per requirements the two equations will be

X+Y=1212

X-Y=518

When we subtract these equations we get

X=1212-518

X=694

Now put the X value and find the Y value in any equation

X+Y= 1212

Y=1212-X

Where X = 694

Y=1212-694

Y=518

X=694 and Y=518

<h3>Answer:  25w+200 > 750</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

He starts off with 200 cards. Then he adds on 25w more cards for each week (w). Overall, he'll have 200+25w cards

We can think of it like this:

  • After 1 week, he adds on 25*1 = 25 cards
  • After 2 weeks, he adds on 25*2 = 50 cards total
  • After 3 weeks, he adds on 25*3 = 75 cards total
  • After 4 weeks, he adds on 25*4 = 100 cards total, and so on.
  • After w weeks, he adds on 25w cards total

So that's another way to see where the 25w comes from.

The expression 200+25w is the same as 25w+200. This is because we can add two numbers in any order.

------------

Since he wants to know when he'll have more than 750 cards, this means we set 25w+200 greater than 750.

That's how we get to the answer of 25w+200 > 750

Notice how there isn't a line under the inequality sign. We aren't using the "greater than or equal to" symbol here. We want to know when the cards gets over 750, but we don't want to know when it's equal to 750.
