This can be solve by just knowing what is amount that is going to be yours and the amount that you will need to give for the prize. So the expected value of your gain is

[$2/ ticket (1500 tickets)] – ( $500 + $250 + 150 + $650) = $2035 is the expected gain

Can somebody tell me how to solve these kind of problems?
Ugo [173]

Answer: 918km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area(a): 1700km^2\\percentage(p): 5.75 = \frac{5.75}{100}=0.0575\\years(y): 8

Let x be the new dimension of the area;

x=a-(a*p*y)

x=(1700km^2)-(1700km^2*0.0575*8)\\x=1700km^2-782km^2\\x=918km^2

What is the explicit formula for the sequence 10, 15, 22.5, 33.75, …?
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.

10x = 15 and

x = \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2} If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:

15(\frac{3}{2})= \frac{45}{2}=22.5 Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

A_n=10(\frac{3}{2})^{n-1
