Answer:
12 unit squared....................
There is 1/5000 chance to win first place of $2000,
1/5000 chance to win second place of $500
3/5000 chance to win third place of $100
10/5000 chance to win the consolation prize of $25.
The ticket costs $1.
We multiply each probability by the amount, and subtract the ticket cost, to get the expected net earnings:
(1/5000)($2000) + (1/5000)($500) + (3/5000)($100) + (10/5000)($25) - $1 = $(-0.39).
This means that there is an expected loss of $0.39.
First, combine the like terms:
-x+8=3
Then, isolate x:
-x=-5
Then, divide by -1:
x=5
1- Let's solve the numerator Inside the bracket m⁻¹.m⁵ =m⁽⁻¹⁺⁵⁾ =m⁽⁴⁾
2- numerator/denominator = m⁽⁴⁾ / m⁻² = m⁽⁴⁾⁻⁽⁻²⁾ =m⁶
3- Now let' include it in the parenthesis:[ m⁶]⁻³ =m⁻¹⁸ =1/m¹⁸<u />
