Answer:

$4895

Step-by-step explanation:

P(winning) = 1 / 1000000 = 0.000001

P(not winning) = 1 - 1/1000000 = 0.999999

Winning amount = 4,900,000,000 - 5 = 4899999995

Amount lost = - 5

__ X: - 5 _________ 4899999995

P(X) : 0.999999 ___ 0.000001

Expected value E(x) = Σx * p(x)

E(x) = - 5(0.999999) + 4899999995(0.000001)

E(x) = - 4.999995 + 4899.999995

E(x) = 4895

Hence, expected value is 4895

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Find out the  how much chlorine is in the pool .

To prove

As given

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.

The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.

i.e

2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water

There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.

As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)

Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.

8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre

                      = 30283.28 litres

Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres  of waters.

As

2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water

2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water

75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .
