Answer:

$0.66

Explanation:

expected return of a lottery ticket equals the sum of the probabilities of winning each prize:

  • probability of winning $100,000 = 1 / 200,000 = 0.000005 x $100,000 = $0.50
  • probability of winning $12,500 = 2 / 199,999 = 0.000005 x $12,500 = $0.125
  • probability of winning $2,000 = 3 / 199,997 = 0.000005 x $2,000 = $0.03
  • probability of winning $200 = 1 / 199,994 = 0.000005 x $200 = $0.001

total expected value = $0.50 + $0.125 + $0.03 + $0.001 = $0.656 ≈ $0.66

It is completely true that most codes of ethics created by professional organizations have two main parts. One part outlines what the professional organization aspires to become, and the other part lists rules and principles by which members of the organization are expected to abide.
