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

What is the sum of 56+64 writen as the product of its gcf and another sum
jenyasd209 [6]
<span>Look for the sum of 56 and 64, written as the product of its GCF and another sum.
First, let’s find the greatest common factor of both given numbers:
=> 56 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 28 and 56
=> 64 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64
Now, we need to find the greatest common factor between the two numbers. The GCF of the 2 numbers is 8.
=> 56 / 8 = 7
=> 64 / 8 = 8
=> 56 + 64 = 120
=> (8 x 7) + (8 x 8)
=> 56 + 64
=> 120.</span><span>
