At a raffle, 1000 tickets are sold for $5 each. There are 20 prizes of $25, 5 prizes of $100, and 1 grand prize of $2000. Suppos

e you buy one ticket. 1. Use the table below to help you construct a probability distribution for all of the possible values of X and their probabilities.
2. Find the mean (expected value) of your net gain X, and interpret what this value means in the context of the game.
3. If you play in such a raffle 100 times, what is the expected value of your net gain? (Hint: Use your answer from #2.)
4. What ticket price would make it a fair game? (The game is “fair” if the money is balanced so that neither side, the players or the organizers of the raffle, wins/loses money on average.)
5. Would you choose to play the game? In complete sentences, explain why or why not.
6. If you were organizing a raffle like this, how might you adjust the ticket price and/or prize amounts in order to make the raffle more tempting while still raising at least $2000 for your organization?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$75.60

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total cost without tax:

42 + 28

= 70

Then, to find the price with sales tax, multiply this by 1.08:

70(1.08)

= 75.6

So, the total cost of her purchases was $75.60

Adam is building a computer desk with a separate compartment for the computer. The compartment for the computer is a rectangular
Alik [6]

Answer:

The width of the computer compartment is 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment is 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment is 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on the rectangular prism compartment are;

The volume of the rectangular prism, V = 8019 cubic inches

The length of the compartment, l = 24 inches + The width, w

The height of the compartment, h = 18 inches + The width, w

Therefore, we have;

l = 24 + w

h = 18 + w

V = l × h × w

∴ V = (24 + w) × (18 + w) × w = w³ + 42·w² + 432·w = 8019

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

By graphing the above function with MS Excel, we have one of the solution is w = 9

∴ (w - 9) is a factor of w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

Dividing, we get;

w² + 51·w + 891

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ - 9·w²

     51·w² - 459·w

                 891·w

                 891·w + 8019

                             0

Therefore,

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019  = (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0

The determinant of the factor, w² + 51·w + 891 = 51² - 4×1×891 = -963, therefore, the it has complex roots

Therefore, the real solution of (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0 is w = 9

The width of the computer compartment, w = 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment, l = 24 inches + 9 inches = 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment, h = 18 inches + 9 inches = 27 inches.

I need some help with these two questions please help!
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-10.6*0.5=m+11.7

-5.3=m+11.7

-5.3-11.7=m

-17=m

14.2=2(-5.8+t)

14.2=-11.6+2t

14.2+11.6=2t

25.8=2t

25.8/2=t

12.9=t
