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 ;)

An animal shelter houses only cats and dogs, there are 25% more cats these dogs. If there are 40 cats, how many dogs are there,
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

There are 32 dogs and 72 animals in total.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of dogs, you need to set up an equation to solve for the missing variable.  Let 'c' be the amount of cats and 'd' be the amount of dogs.  We know that there are 40 cats, so c = 40.  We also know that there are 25% more cats than dogs, so we can form an equation to express this difference:  1.25d = c, indicating that the number of cats is equal to the total number of dogs, plus an additional 25%.  Since we know c = 40, we can set our second equation equal to 40:  1.25d = 40.  Using inverse operations, we divide both sides by 1.25 to get d = 32.  So, d + c, or 32 + 40 = 72 total animals.

Draw a figure that contains at least three angles and requires three letters to name each angle PLEASE HELP
Vladimir [108]

You can draw a triangle or a quadrilateral since they have at least three angles. For the second part, any angle can be named with three letters. After naming each corner/angle of the figure, name an angle so that the actual angle letter is the middle letter, surrounded by the letters of the corners that is just next to it.
