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:

The group of seventh graders will have 5 groups of five: 5 is the greatest multiple of 25, or 5*5=25. Then for the sixth graders there will be 4 groups of 5: because 4&5 are the greatest factors of 20 and you want the most amount of kids per group, you would have 5 kids in each group. Hope this helps.
