Answer:

The probability of winning a jackpot is P  = 0.000003

The probability of winning the pick 5 game  is  P_a =  0.00001

The earning of the lottery organisation if the game were to be runed for no profit is  x =$10 000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

    The sample size is  n= 37

    The number of selection is  r =  5

Now the number of way by which these five selection can be made is mathematically represented as

         \left n} \atop {}} \right.C_r   = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r! }

Now  substituting values

         \left n} \atop {}} \right.C_r   = \frac{37!}{(37-5)!5! }

          \left n} \atop {}} \right.C_r   = 333333.3

Now the probability of winning  a jackpot from any of the way of selecting 5 whole number from 37 is mathematically evaluated as

         P  = \frac{1}{333333.3}

        P  = 0.000003

Now the number of ways of selecting 5 whole number from 0 to 9 with repetition is mathematically evaluated as

        k  =  10^5

Now the probability of winning the game is

      P_a =  \frac{1}{10^5}

      P_a =  0.00001

We are told that for a $1 ticket that the pick 5 game returns $50 , 000

  Generally the expected value is mathematically represented as

           E(X) =  x  * P(X =x )

In this question the expected value is  $1

So

          1 =  x * 0.00001

So      x =   \frac{1}{0.00001}

        x =$10 000

Let f(x)=x+3 and g(x)=1/x. The graph of (f*g)(x) is shown below.
Vlad [161]
For this case we have the following functions:
 f (x) = x + 3&#10;&#10;g (x) = 1 / x When composing the functions we have:
 (fog) (x) = f (g (x))&#10;
 Substituting values we have:
 (fog) (x) = ((1 / x) +3)&#10;
 Rewriting:
 (fog) (x) = 1 / x + 3&#10;
 The function has a horizontal asymptote at y = 3.
 Therefore, the range of the function is all reals minus y = 3.

In how many ways can 4 boys and 4 girls be arranged in a row such that no two boys and no two girls are next to each other?(A) 1
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1152

Step-by-step explanation:

4 boys and 4 girls be arranged in a row such that no two boys and no two girls are next to each other.

Two boys and two girls are not next to each other. so one boy and one girl are next to each other in two ways.

BGBGBGBG, GBGBGBGB

4 boys are arranged in 4! ways and 4 girls are arranged in 4! ways

So number of ways = 2 \cdot 4! \cdot 4!=2 \cdot 24 \cdot 24=1152
