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\\\\
