Answer:
<h3>100 tickets</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of winning = amount of tickets purchased/Total number of tickets
20% = 20/total number of tickets
20/100 = 20/total number of tickets
cross multiply
20 * total number of tickets = 20 * 100
20 * total number of tickets = 100
total number of tickets sold = 100 tickets
Answer:
he sold 4 boxes of cookies and 3 chocolate bars
Step-by-step explanation:
5+5+5+5 = 20 3+3+3 = 9 so add 20+9 = 29
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
Answer:
This can be found by using the permutations and combinations formuals.
Combinations being the C equation and Permutations being the P equation.
Explanation:
A permutation is used for the list of data (where the order of the data matters) and the combination is used for a group of data (where the order of data doesn't matter).
When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1).
So the equation you can use is x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer.
Now simplify:
x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3x + 3
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Now isolate the variable:
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Subtract 2x from both sides:
1 = x + 8
Subtract 8 from both side:
-7 = x
x = -7
So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.
Now check your answer:
-7 + (-7 + 1) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 - 6 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-6)
-13 = 5 + (-18)
-13 = 5 - 18
-13 = -13
This works!
So the integers are -7 and -6.
