Answer:

Total possible number of outcomes = C(24,6) [24 choose 6]

=24!/(6!18!)

= 134596

Out of which there is only one winning combination.

Therefore we conclude:

P(win 20000)=1/134596

P(lose 1)=134595/134596

and hence the expected value is:

20000*(1/134596)+(-1)*(134595/134596)

=-114595/134596

=-0.8514 (rounded to four places after decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped!

Simplify the fraction and state the excluded value(s).
stira [4]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{7x^2 + 4x - 20}{5x + 10} = \frac{7x - 10}{5}, x \neq -2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Factoring

<u>Calculus</u>

Discontinuities

  • Removable (Holes)
  • Jump (Piece-wise functions)
  • Infinite (Asymptotes)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u />\displaystyle \frac{7x^2 + 4x - 20}{5x + 10}<u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>

  1. [Frac - Numerator] Factor quadratic:                    \displaystyle \frac{(7x - 10)(x + 2)}{5x + 10}
  2. [Frac - Denominator] Factor GCF:                        \displaystyle \frac{(7x - 10)(x + 2)}{5(x + 2)}
  3. [Frac] Divide/Simplify:                                           \displaystyle \frac{(7x - 10)}{5}, x \neq -2

When we divide (x + 2), we would have a <em>removable</em> <em>discontinuity</em>. If we were to graph the original function, we would see at x = -2 there would be a hole in the graph.
