Answer:

$0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>"The expected value of one ticket"</em> is what the cost of the television covers.

If 2000 tickets are sold for $ 1 the total amount of all tickets sold is

2000.(1)= 2000

To calculate the expected value of a single ticket, we have to divide the cost of the TV by the price of all tickets sold.

\frac{1000}{2000}= 0.5

The "expected value of a ticket" is the probability of being drawn multiplied by the earnings associated to being drawn.
($1 is the price of the ticket which of course can be different).

So in this case probability is 1/2000 and the earnings would be valued $1000 (value of the plasma TV).
The expected value is 1/2000*1000=1000/2000=$0,5

This means you should not buy a $1 ticket to play except if this really brings you LOTS of amusement ;)

Suppose you have 15 muffins. How many muffins are left after you give a friend 1/3 of them?

You would have 10 muffins left because 1/3 of 15 is 5 so 15-5=10

1 L of a 78% acid solution was mixed with 6 L of a 64% acid solution. Find the concentration of the new mixture.
JulijaS [17]

The first solution contributes 0.78*1 = 0.78 L of acid.

The second contributes 0.64*6 = 3.84 L of acid.

There will be 7 L total of the new solution, and 3.84 + 0.78 = 4.62 total L of acid in it. So the new solution has a concentration of 4.62/7 = 0.66, or about 66%.

Find the value of L. Perimeter =22. Width is 5. So what is L. On a square
SSSSS [86.1K]
P= L+W 
P= Perimeter, L= Length  and W=Width
Length + Width = Perimeter
So, then P(22) - W(5) = L(17)
Hope that helps.
