Answer:
The expected value of this game is -$0.26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected value:
Each possible earning/loss multiplied by it's probability.
Probability:
Number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question, the order in which the numbers are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
Probability of winning:
Desired outcomes:
The 6 correct numbers, so 
Total outcomes:
6 numbers from a set of 21. So
Probability:
Expected value
probability of earning 40,000.
probability of losing 1. So
The expected value of this game is -$0.26.

Notice the picture
the rhombus, or kite, is really just 4 triangles
all sides are the same lenght in a rhombus,
thus, find the area of all of the triangles,
and you already have two sides given,
and then, add them up
or just find the length of one, and multiply times 4 :)
recall, area of a triangle = 1/2 bh
The total amount of degrees in a triangle is 180. All three angles should add up to 180˚
We know that 40+60 = 100
The next step is to do 180-100 to get the other angle.
180-100 = 80
So the measure of the third angle is 80˚
Hope this helps!
(Also if you want to do this in one equation, you would do 40+60+x = 180
40+60+x = 180
100+x = 180 (combine like terms)
x = 80 (Subtract 100 from both sides)
Is there choices ? I got 0.216
