Answer:

Expected Value = -$0.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value = [$6,200*(1/17000) + $940*(3/17000) + $98*(8/17000) + $25*(10/17000)] - 1

Expected Value = [0.59]-1

Expected Value = -$0.41

Answer:

Expected value = $-0.41

Step-by-step explanation:

1 grand prize = $6,200

3 prizes = $940

8 prize = $98

10 prizes = $25

Total raffle tickets = 17000

The value of each ticket is

$6,200*(1/17000) + $940*(3/17000) + $98*(8/17000 + $25*(10/17000)

$0.364 + $0.1658 + $0.0461 + $0.0147

$0.59

The expected value is

E = $0.59 - $1

E = $-0.41

That means you are most likely to lose $0.41 if you buy a raffle ticket for $1.

Ivan

Answer:

Test statistic = 2.8965

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is given by the formula

z = (x - μ)/σₓ

μ = mean = 0.799

x = proportion of literate people in Tamil Nadu = (983/1185) = 0.8295

σₓ = standard error of this calculated proportion = √[p(1-p)/n]

= √(0.8295 × 0.1705/1185) = 0.01093

z = (x - μ)/σₓ

z = (0.8295 - 0.799)/0.01093 = 2.8965

z = 2.8965

Hope this Helps!!!

Remember that both the denominator and the square root function cannot have values less than 0.  So to figure what values can go into each we need to do a little math.  Set both the denominator and the under the radical equal to 0
x + 2 = 0            x - 3 = 0
x = -2                 x = 3

Since they must be those numbers or bigger 3 is the larger of the 2 the final answer is
x >= 3  Type in greater than into the box
