3x=54
x= 54/3
x= 18


x+1= 19
x+2= 20

Therefore 20 is the largest

A lottery offers one $900 prize, one $600 Prize, three $400 prizes, and four $100 prizes. One thousand tickets are sold at $5 ea
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Expected value for 4 tickets = $ -7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A lottery offers one $900 prize, one $600 Prize, three $400 prizes, and four $100 prizes. One thousand tickets are sold at $5 each.

To find - Find the expectation if a person buys four tickets. Assume that the player's ticket is replaced after each draw and that the same ticket can win more than one prize. Round to two decimal places for currency problems.

Proof -

Given that,

A lottery offers

one $ 900 prize

one $ 600 prize

three $ 400 prizes

Four $ 100 prizes

And

One thousand tickets are sold at $ 5 each

Now,

If the person bought 1000 tickets then the prize he gets is

= 900 + 600 + 3×400 + 4×100

= 900 + 600 + 1200 + 400

= $3100

And

The cost of 1000 tickets = 5×1000 = $ 5000

Now,

Price 1 ticket = \frac{3100}{1000} = $ 3.1

⇒Expectation of 1 ticket = $ 3.1 - 5 = $ -1.9      (Here $5 is price of 1 ticket)

⇒Expected value for 4 tickets = $ 4× -1.9 = $ -7.6

⇒Expected value for 4 tickets = $ -7.6

Answer:

  (c)  BC ≅ BC, reflexive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion of this proof derives from CPCTC and the SAS congruence postulate. In order for SAS to apply, corresponding sides and the angle between them must be shown to be congruent. The congruence statement ...

  ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB

tells you these pairs of sides and angles are congruent:

  • AB ≅ DC . . . . statement 2
  • ∠ABC ≅ ∠DCB . . . . statement 4
  • BC ≅ CB . . . . (missing statement 5)
  • AC ≅ DB . . . . statement 7

That is, the statement needed to complete the proof is a statement that segment BC is congruent to itself. That congruence is a result of the reflexive property of congruence.

A school group is helping plant a new city garden. Today they used 12 1/2 pounds of potting soil and planted 2/5 of the garden.
Len [333]

Answer:

18\frac{3}{4} pounds.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total amount of potting soil needed to complete the planting in new garden.    

We are told that a school group is helping plant a new city garden. Today they used 12 1/2 pounds of potting soil and planted 2/5 of the garden. This means 2/5 of x equals to 12 1/2.

\frac{2}{5} x=12\frac{1}{2}

\frac{2}{5} x=\frac{25}{2}  

x=\frac{25}{2}\times\frac{5}{2}

x=\frac{125}{4}

To find the amount of soil needed for the next of planting we will subtract the amount of potting soil used on the first day (\frac{25}{2}) from amount of total potting soil (\frac{125}{4}).

\text{Amount of potting soil needed for second day}=\frac{125}{4}-\frac{25}{2}

\text{Amount of potting soil needed for second day}=\frac{125}{4}-\frac{25\times 2}{2\times2}

\text{Amount of potting soil needed for second day}=\frac{125}{4}-\frac{50}{4}

\text{Amount of potting soil needed for second day}=\frac{75}{4}

\text{Amount of potting soil needed for second day}=\frac{75}{4}=18\frac{3}{4}

Therefore, the group will need 18\frac{3}{4} pounds of potting soil to finish their work.
