The Powerball lottery is open to participants across several states. When entering the powerball lottery, a participant selects

five numbers from 1-59 and then selects a powerball number from the digits 1-35. In addition, there’s a $1 million payoff for anybody selecting the first five numbers correctly. • Show that the odds of winning the Powerball Jackpot are 1 in 175, 223, 510. • Show that the odds of winning the $1 million are 1 in 5, 153, 632. On February 18, 2006 the Jackpot reached $365 million. Assuming that you will either win the Jackpot or the $1 million prize, what’s your expected value of winning? Mega Millions is a similar lottery where you pick 5 balls out of 56 and a powerball from 46. Show that the odds of winning mega millions are higher than the Powerball lottery On March 30, 2012 the Jackpot reached $656 million. Is your expected value higher or lower than that calculated for the Powerball lottery?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ways = 59C5 × 35= 59!/(54!*5!)* 35= 175223510

Odds are thus 1 in 175223510

b) 1 million - Number of ways = 59!/(54!*5!) =5006386*35/34 = 5153632

Odds are thus 1 in 5153632

Answer: 41 vans will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 492 campers. We know that each van can hold a total of 12 passengers.

So, simply divide 492 by 12 to get the total amount of vans needed.

492/12 = 41 vans.

How t solve polynomials????? HELPPPP EXAM TMRW!!!!
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

B) 1296 D) 729

Step-by-step explanation:

It's pretty straight forward, just put the values into your calculator. The question is asking to evaluate instead of simplifying, so this works. If you don't have a calculator, here are some tricks. Do them step by step in your head slowly if you have to, for fractions do them alone, and then divide them. Also in D, don't let the second value of (3)3)0 scare you, any exponent with a 0 in it is automatically 1! Hope I could help.

An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 28 ft
Marysya12 [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle with an unknown hypotenuse, and a side opposite the 30° angle that is 28 ft.

  sin(30°) = (28 ft)/hypotenuse

  hypotenuse = (28 ft)/sin(30°) = 56 ft

The length of the escalator is 56 feet.
