Answer:

Loss of $4.78

Loss of $478

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value = Sum of (winning amount x winning probability) - cost of lottery ticket

Expected value = ( $10 x 1/100 + $100 x 1/1000 + $1 million x 1/$50 million ) - $5

Expected value= $0.22 - $5

Expected value= - $4.78

The Negative value of expected value indicates loss)

Amount expected to lose if 100 tickets are bought = 100 x $4.78 = $478

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below.
Bond [772]

Answer:

(x+7)^2+(y-2)^2=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Since the center is (h,k)\rightarrow(-7,2), and the radius is r=2, then the equation of the circle graphed is (x-(-7))^2+(y-2)^2=2^2=(x+7)^2+(y-2)^2=4.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

i)The correct option is  D.) 99.74%

ii) The correct option is B.) 68.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

i) P(10≤X≤70) = P(  (10−40)/10  ≤Z≤   (70−40 )/10 ) =  Pr(−3≤Z≤3)

= 0.9987 - 0.0013 = 0.99734

Therefore the percentage of Jen's monthly phone bills are between $40 and $100 is D.) 99.74%

ii)P(2.1≤X≤3.1) = P(  (2.1 − 2.6) /0.5   ≤ Z  ≤ (3.1−2.6 )/0.5)  =  Pr(−1  ≤Z  ≤1) )

=  0.8413 − 0.1587  =  0.6826

Therefore the percentage of students at college have a GPA between 2.1 a,d 3.1 is B.) 68.26%
