Step-by-step explanation:
115 = 5x + 15
115 - 15 = 5x
100 = 5x
20 = x
Answer:
The answer is one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume
people were in the original group of winners as x
A group of winning ticket holders share equally 90,000,000 lottery
Before the money is divided, three more winning ticket holders are declared
so, total number of winning tickes =x+3
each persons share is reduced to 5,000,000
so, total money =5,000,000*(x+3)
and this must be equal to total money

now, we can solve for x
and we get

Subtrac both sides by 3


so,
number of people were in the original group of winners is 15 ...........Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
- To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
- your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
- Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
- The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
- Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
- So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
- But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games
