Answer:

The expected value of the winnings for a single-ticket purchase is -$1.0016.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tickets sold is, <em>N</em> = 1250.

Cost of one ticket is, $4.

Let <em>X</em> = amount of prize.

The prize distribution is as follows:

1 Grand price = $3000

1 Second prize = $450

10 Third prize = $25

The expected value <em>X</em> can be computed using the formula:

E(X)=\sum x.P(X)

Compute the probability distribution of <em>X</em> as follows:

     Prize        Amount (X)         P (X)                    x · P (X)

1 Grand prize    $3000         \frac{1}{1250}=0.0008     \$3000\times 0.0008=2.4

1 Second prize  $450          \frac{1}{1249}=0.0008      \$450\times 0.0008=0.36

10 Third prize      $25          \frac{10}{1248}=0.008        \$25\times 0.008=0.2

No prize             -$4      1-\sum P(Win)\\=0.9904   -\$4\times 0.9904=-3.9616

TOTAL                              1.0000                            -1.0016

Thus, the expected value of the winnings for a single-ticket purchase is -$1.0016.

Determine the coordinator of the point<br>of intersection of lines<br>3x-2y=13 and 2y+x+1=0​
finlep [7]

Answer:

(3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations of line

3x-2y=13

2y+x+1=0​

=> x = -1 -2y

Point of intersection will coordinates where both equation have same value of (x,y)

top get that we have to solve the both equations by using method of substitution of simultaneous equation.

using this value of x in 3x-2y=13, we have

3(-1-2y) -2y = 13

=> -3 -6y-2y = 13

=> -8y = 13+3 = 16

=> y = 16/-8 = -2

x = -1 - 2y = -1 -2(-2) = -1+4= 3

Thus, point of intersection of line is (3,-2)

In trapezoid ABCD, find m∠A if m∠B= 25°, m∠C = 155° and m∠ D= 117°.
telo118 [61]
Hello there! A trapezoid is a quadrilateral, and the angles of a quadrilateral have a sum of 360°. We don't know the angle measurement for A, so let's start off by adding the measurements of the other angles together. 117 + 155 + 25 is 297. Now, we subtract that number from 360 to find the angle measurement. 360 - 297 is 63. There. The measurement of angle A is 63°.
