There is 1/5000 chance to win first place of $2000,
1/5000 chance to win second place of $500
3/5000 chance to win third place of $100
10/5000 chance to win the consolation prize of $25.
The ticket costs $1.
We multiply each probability by the amount, and subtract the ticket cost, to get the expected net earnings:
(1/5000)($2000) + (1/5000)($500) + (3/5000)($100) + (10/5000)($25) - $1 = $(-0.39).
This means that there is an expected loss of $0.39.

Hi I’m new can someone help me on this (PLZ NO LINKS)
Ymorist [56]
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
So to find A you would need to add A and B together and equal it to 90 (3x+25+5x-7=90)
Combine like terms together (8x+18=90)
Subtract 18 from night sides (8x=72)
Divide by 8 on both sides (x=9)
Then to find A substitute x into its equation (3(9)+25)=(27+25)=52

A=52 I think
