Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that St. Mary's Church is holding a raffle in which 1172 tickets have been sold at a cost of $2.00 each.

Three prizes will be awarded: 1 for S500;1 for $250; 1 for $125.

Thus total number of tickets = 1172

Of these prize winning are 3

i.e. Tickets        Prize $     Net win amount            Prob       Net win amt*prob

         1                 500                (500-2) =448          1/1172           448/1172

         1                250                 (250-2) =248          1/1172           248/1172

          1               125                   (125-2) =123            1/1172          123/1172

       1169               0                    (0-2) =    -2             1169/1172    -2338/1172

Expected value = Total                                                                 -1519/1172

=-1.296

Three people play a game on each spinner in the previos problem.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All other things being equal, spinner A is fine. It is a fair spinner.

Spinner B is not fair. Players 1 and 3 have only 1 number each. Player 2 on the other hand, has 2 numbers that work for him. If player 2 puts in two dollars and players 1 and 3 one dollar each, that should even up the odds. Now you want it just to be fair. So I think player 2 has to put up 2 dollars and players 1 and 3 each put up one. The pot is 4 dollars each time it is played.

Spinner 3 is not fair either. Player one has 2 chances. Player 2 has 3 chances and player 3 has but one chance. There are 6 chances in all. Player 1 should put up 2 dollars to play player 1 should put up 3 dollars and player 1 should put up 1 dollar.

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states a(b+c)=a*b+a*c. This property states that when you multiply more than one thing, you must be sure to multiply everything. When you order fast food combos, you do the distribution property to receive the correct order.

If I order 3 Happy Meals, then I will receive

3(hamburgers +fries + drinks +toys)

3 hamburgers+3 fries+3 drinks+3 toys.

If I don't, then I have broken the distribution property.
