for $1.00 each. After all the tickets are sold, one ticket will be selected at random and its owner will receive $50.00. The expected value for the net gain for each ticket is -$0.95. What is the meaning of the expected value in this context?
A. The ticket owners lose an average of $0.05 per raffle ticket.
B. The ticket owners lose an average of $0.95 per raffle ticket.
C. Each ticket owner will lose $0.95 per raffle ticket.
D. A ticket owner would have to purchase 19 more tickets for the expected value of his or her net gain to increase to $0.00.

Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, 1000 ticket were sold for \$1 and the owner who receives tickets which are  randomly chosen that wins \$50.

Net\  profit = 1000\times 1-1\timesv 50 = \$950\\\\Net \ profit \ for\  ticket = \frac{\$950}{1000} = \$0.95

The probability in which each ticket owners win = 0.001

therefore the ticket owner net profit = = -1+0.001\times 50 = -0.95\\\\

A tangent from point P to a circle of radius 4 cm is 10 cm long. Find: <br>a the distance of P from the centre of the circle <br
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a

The tangent and the radius at the point of contact form a right angle

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle formed.

Let x be the distance from the centre to P, then

x² = 4² + 10² = 16 + 100 = 116 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{116} ≈ 10.77 cm (to 2 dec. places )

b

let the required angle be Θ, then

Using the sine or cosine ratio in the right triangle.

cosΘ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{116} }

Θ = cos^{-1} ( \frac{10}{\sqrt{116} } ) ≈ 21.8°
