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!

David loves to cook! He knew 21 recipes before starting cooking school and he learns 2 recipes
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Sarah is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

By plugging 10 in as 'x' to the equation, we get y=21+(2*10). 2 x 10 is 20, and 20 + 21 is <em>not</em> 42 - it's 41. So, Sarah is incorrect.
