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!

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO. The scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3∕2 . If the area of ΔMNO is 10 square units, what's the area of
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO.

The scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3∕2

the area of ΔMNO is 10 square units,

The area of ΔABC/the area of ΔMNO

= 2/3

The area of ΔABC/10= 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 2/3 * 10

The area of ΔABC= 20/3

The area of ΔABC= 6 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units

Which of the following triangles are right triangles? select all apply
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The following Triangles are Right Triangles:

1.  Δ ABC Where AB = 76 in, BC = 357 in, and AC = 365 in.

2. Δ MIT Where MI = 123 cm, IT = 836 cm, and MT = 845 cm.

3. Δ MEL Where ME = 20 ft, EL = 99 ft, and ML = 101 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a Triangle to be a Right Triangle it must Satisfy Pythagoras theorem.

i.e.

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

For Δ ABC Where AB = 76 in, BC = 357 in, and AC = 365 in.

AC² = 365² = 133225

AB² + BC² = 76² + 357² = 1333225

∴  AC² = AB² + BC²

Hence Δ ABC a Right Triangle.

For Δ MIT Where MI = 123 cm, IT = 836 cm, and MT = 845 cm.

MT² = 845² = 71405

MI² + IT² = 123² + 836² = 714025

∴ MT² = MI² + IT²

Hence Δ MIT a Right Triangle.

For  Δ MEL Where ME = 20 ft, EL = 99 ft, and ML = 101 ft.

ML² = 101² = 10201

ME² + EL² = 20² + 99² = 10201

∴ ML² = ME² + EL²

Hence Δ MEL a Right Triangle.
