Answer:

-$2.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that

The selling price per ticket is $9

And the number of tickets sold is 500

So,

There is one grand prize, three $300 second prize, and eleven $40 third prizes

We need to find out the expected value of the profit

= \frac{1}{500} \times 2000 +  \frac{3}{500} \times 300 + \frac{11}{500} \times 40\\\\

= 4 + 1.8 + 0.88

= 6.68

Now the expected profit is

= $6.68 - $9

= -$2.32

F<span>or every 1,000 feet you go up in elevation</span>, <span>the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F</span>

 

Given:

Temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 74°F

The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you

 

Change (reduction) in temperature is 3.3 X 5500 / 1000

= 18.15°F

 

Temperature at the top of the mountain is 74°F – 18.15°F

= 55.85°F

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:  693 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

A(t) =A_0e^{kt}

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decomposition = 1

A_0 = Initial amount of the reactant

A_t = amount of the reactant left =A_0-\frac{0.1}{100}\times A_0=0.999A_0

0.999A_0=A_0e^{k\times 1}

0.999=e^k

k=-0.001year^{-1}

for half life : t=t_\frac{1}{2}

A_t=\frac{1}{2}A_o

Putting in the values , we get

\frac{1}{2}A_0=A_0e^{-0.001\times t_\frac{1}{2}

t_\frac{1}{2}=693 years

Thus half life of this isotope, to the nearest year is 693.
