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

The focus of a parabola is located at (4,0), and the directrix is located at x =-4. Which equation represents the parabola?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the important things to remember about parabolas is that the vertex is directly in between the focus and the directrix. Our focus is at (4, 0) and the directrix is at (-4, 0), so that means that the vertex (h, k) is at the origin (0, 0). Another important thing to remember is that the distance between either the vertex and the focus or the vertex and the directrix is the p value, the value that tells us how stretched or compressed the parabola is. Another thing to remember is that a parabola will always wrap itself around the focus away from the directrix. So here's what we know then:

Our parabola opens to the right, the equation for that is

(y-k)^2=4p(x-h),

p = 4, and the vertex is (0, 0). Filling in the formula for the parabola using that info:

(y-0)^2=4(4)(x-0) which simplifies a bit to

y^2=16x and solving it for x:

\frac{1}{16}y^2=x
