In a state's Pick 3 lottery game, you pay $1.15 to select a sequence of three digits (from 0 to 9), such as 966. If you sel

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

A) 1000 different selections

B) probability of winning = 0.001

C) Net profit on winning = $257.20

D) E(y) = -0. 89165

E) Option B - The Pick 4 game is a better bet because it has a larger expected value.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) For the different selections possible, since each of the digits from 0 - 9 can take a total of 10 digits, then the different selections possible will be = 10³ = 1000 different selections

B) To find the probability of winning, since only one pick can be a winning one. Thus probability of winning = 1/1000 = 0.001

C) Net profit on winning = Amount won - Amount staked

Amount won = $258.35

Amount staked = $1.15

Thus;

Net profit on winning = $258.35 - $1.15

Net profit on winning = $257.20

D) If we call the net profit "y", then Expected value is:

E(y) = 257.2(0.001) - 1.15(1 - 0.001)

E(y) = 0.2572 - 1.14885

E(y) = -0. 89165

E) We are told that:If you bet $ 1.15 in a certain state's Pick 4 game, the expected value is negative −$0.89

The expected value of -0.89 in pick 4 is better than that in pick 3 because it's larger.

Find and sketch the domain of the function. f(x,y)=√(4-x^2-y^2) +√(1-x^2)<br>

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Hello

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is limited with 2 lines parallel: -1 ≤ x ≤ 1

and the disk ? (inside of a circle) of center (0,0) and radius 2

$dom\ f(x,y)=\{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R} ^2 | \ -1\leq x \leq -1\ and \ ( -\sqrt{4-x^2} \leq \ y \leq \sqrt{4-x^2}\ ) \ \}\\$

Write an equation of the line passing through the points (4,6) and (-2, - 18).

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

y = 4x – 10

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula: $m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

point-slope formula: $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Use slope formula and plug in your numbers: $m = \frac{-18-6}{-2-4 }$
Solve for slope $m = 4$
Use the point-slope formula to solve for the equation: $y-6=4\left(x-4\right)$
Solve and find equation: $y=4x-10$

Note: When given two points you only need to pick one for the point-slope formula! Best to choose the positive one so you don't have to deal with the negatives!

Hope this helps! Please give Brainliest!
