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!

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the slope-interception form of the given line is:

y=s*x+i, where s - the slope, i - interception;

according to the condition it is

y=1/8*x+i;

2) if to substitute the coordinates of the given point (-10;4) into the slope-interception form, then:

4=1/8* (-10)+i, ⇒ i=21/4;

the equation of the given line is:

y=1/8*x+21/4

3) according to the condition the given point with the coordinates (-6;w) belongs to the line. It means, it is possible to substitute its coordinates into the equation, then calculate the value of the 'w':

w=1/8*(-6)+21/4; ⇒ w=9/2.

Answer C. 9/2

Note: the suggested option is not the only.

What is a part of a population used to describe the whole group?
Helen [10]

Answer:

In basic terms, a population is the total number of individuals, animals, items, observation, data, etc. So the sample, in other words, is a portion, part, or fraction of the whole group, and acts as a subset of the population. Samples are used in a variety of settings where research is conducted.
