Answer:

 $900

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with let us estimate the total cash value of the prices

$1000 x 1= 1000

$500 x 1=  500

$50 x 2= 100

Total = $1600

Now let us calculate the total cost of tickets sold at $2.50 per tickets for 1000 tickets

2.5*1000= $2,500

Assuming worse case that the lottery had winners in all three categories and i.e the total prices given out is $1600

Then the expected profit is = $2,500-$1600= $900

A number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. What is the probability of the number cube showing a 4 or a number less th
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is

P

(

A

)

=

1

3

Explanation:

To calculate the probability you have to count the number of all possible results

|

Ω

|

and the number of results that fulfill the given condition

|

A

|

.

In this case

Ω

=

{

1

,

2

,

3

,

4

,

5

,

6

}

Thereare 6 possible result of a dice toss. So

|

Ω

|

=

6

The given condition is "the result is divisible by

3

", so

A

=

{

3

,

6

}

- those are the only numbers divisible by

3

, so

|

A

|

=

2

.

Finally to calculate the probability we have to divide

|

A

|

by

|

Ω

|

.

P

(

A

)

=

|

A

|

|

Ω

|

=

2

6

=

1

3

Note The probability is never larger than

1

, so if you get such result then there must be a mistake in calculations.

The Z-score is based on the concept of the normal distribution, the fact that we can expect 95% of the values in the distributio
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

C.) In perfect health.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an average weight of 15kg and a standard deviation of 3kg for children of 4 years. Since the weight is based on a normal Z - distribution of 95% which is mean ± 2(standard deviations)

Mean weight interval is :

15 - 2(3) ; 15 + 2(3)

(9 ; 21) ; this weight interval could be interpreted to mean the normal or perfect weight value.

Therefore, given that the child weighs 12kg

Since, 12 kg falls within in the interval, we can conclude that the child is in perfect health.
