Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that the ticket will win you 600 dollars * 1/1500 = 600/1500.

the probability that the ticket will win you 50 dollars is 50 * 5/1500 = 250/1500.

the probability that the ticket will win you 25 dollars is 25 * 20/1500 = 500/1500.

your expected value is -1 + 600/1500 + 250/1500 + 500/1500 = -.1.

the average loss for each dollar that is bet is equal to 10 cents.

hope this helped

The three whites:

(30 choose 1) * (29 choose 1) * (28 choose 1) = 30 * 29 * 28
