nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is FALSE.

First it's not sound investment advice to put all his savings into an investment because as the narrative rightly points out, he may have other needs.
Second, high growth stock are also

high risk
they only pay in the long term only if the company is successful because dividends are re-invested which is one of the reasons the companies grow quickly.

High growth rate: this means if all goes well David will enjoy a good return on his investment;
It's also a way to protect his money from erosion by inflation

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont

Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

Explanation:

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

$P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}$

$P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}$

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

$P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}$

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

$= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700} + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37$

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket
