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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not familiar with the conversions from American dollars. I can help you solve it though.

Count how many days from Nov 26 to Dec 26 and multiply that by 9p.

It's 30 days by 9p. Take that total and convert it.

Hopefully this helps you.

If the graph of the function h is defined by = h(x)+x^2+9 is translated vertically downward by 9 units, it becomes the graph of
natulia [17]
The answer is g(x) = x².
Solution:
The graph of h(x) = x²+9 translated vertically downward by 9 units means that each point (x, h(x)) is shifted onto the point (x, h(x) - 9), that is, 
     (x, h(x)) → (x, h(x) - 9)
The translated graph that represents the function is defined by the expression for g(x):
     g(x) = h(x) - 9 = x² + 9 - 9 = x²

h(x) = x²+9 → g(x) = x² shows that the graph of the equation g(x) = x² moves the graph of h(x) = x²+9 down nine units.
