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
