Answer:
We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27.
We know that

As there is only one advantageous combination, we conclude that the number of non-winning combinations is 296009.
He can win 40,000 dollars.
We calculate:

We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.
A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.
A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.
B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.
