The total number of workers is our unknown. If 40% of this unknown number are women and the number of women is 1380, then the equation looks like this:

(remember that the word "of" generally means to multiply)

(also remember that we have to use the decimal form of a percent in an equation)

.40(x) = 1380 then divide to get the number of total workers:

x = 3450

In a statewide lottery, one can buy a ticket for $1. With probability .0000001, one wins a million dollars ($1,000,000), and wit

Using the expected value, it is found that the mean of the distribution equals $0.1.

The expected value, which is the mean of the distribution, is given by <u>each outcome multiplied by it's probability</u>.

The probabilities of <u>each outcome</u> are:

.0000001 probability of earning $1,000,000.
.9999999 probability of earning $0.

Thus, the mean is given by:

$E(Y) = 0.0000001(1000000) + 0.9999999(0) = 0.1$

Thus showing that the expected value is $0.1.
