In this question, both tickets cost 2$ per ticket.
The answer to this question would be: $0
In WinOne scenario, you need to match a ticket that has to pick from A-J(10 possibilities) and 0-9 (10 possibilities). The chance to win would be: 1/10* 1/10= 1/100
The expected value must be:
E= chance to win * win amount - ticket price
E= 1//100*$200 - $2= $2-$2= 0
Answer:
i) k = 36.8
ii)y = 36.8/square root of x
iii)y = 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If y is inversely proportional to square root of x;
then the two variables are related by,
y = k/ square root of x
i)Value of k when...x = 8 and y = 13,
substitute into the equation above..so as to find the value of k
13 = k/square root of 8
;k = 13 × square root of 8
;k = 36.8
ii)Then substitute the value of k with...36.8
y = 36.8/square root of x
iii)If x = 27...then y =;
y = 36.8/27
y = 1.4
You want the minimum of the solutions to
x + y = 24
7x - y = 16
There are many ways to solve these equations. Adding them together, you get
8x = 40
x = 5
Since this value is less than 12, it is the smaller number. The smaller number is 5.
Answer:
- 9 camels
- 6 camels
- 2 camels
Step-by-step explanation:
If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.
The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.
The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.
The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.
The one remaining is returned to me.
- 1st person: 9 camels
- 2nd person: 6 camels
- 3rd person: 2 camels

<em>Comment on the question</em>
This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.
