Answer:

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student that purchases 10 tickets out of 2900 has a probability of winning the cruise that can be calculated as:

p=10/2900\approx0.00345

Each ticket cost $5, so he has spent $50 for the 10 tickets.

Then, the expected value of this operation is equal to the expected value of the earnings (probability of winning the prize multiplied by the value of the prize), minus the costs:

E(X)=p\cdot R-C\\\\E(X)=0.00345\cdot3000-50=10.35-50=-39.65

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

Answer:

x=10

y=-2

(10,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X=10, we can put 10 in for x in the equation.

30 + 5y = 20

Next, we need to solve to find y.

We will get y on its own so we subtract 30 from 20 to get

5y=-10

We then know that 5 goes into -10 -2 times.

y=-2
