Most states and Canadian provinces have government-sponsored lotteries. Here is a simple lottery wager, from the Tri-State Pick

3 game that New Hampshire shares with Maine and Vermont. You choose a three-digit number; the state chooses a three-digit winning number at random and pays you $500 if your number is chosen. Because there are 1000 three-digit numbers, you have probability 1/1000 of winning. Taking X to be the amount your ticket pays you, the probability distribution of X is Payoff X Probability: $0.00 0.999 What is your average payoff from many tickets

Answer:

For many(n) tickets, the average payoff is 0.5n, in which n is the number of tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/1000 chance of winning.

This means that there is an 1/1000 probability of you earning $500.

1 - 1/1000 = 999/1000 chance of losing.

In this case, you earn nothing.

What is your average payoff from many tickets

A = \frac{500*1}{1000} + \frac{0*999}{1000} = \frac{500}{1000} = 0.5

Your average payoff from a ticket is 0.5. So for many(n) tickets, the average payoff is 0.5n, in which n is the number of tickets.

What is the equation of the line that goes through the points (4,-1) and<br> (2,3)?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>y = -2x + 7</u>

Explanation:

<em><u>y = mx + b</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em>m = slope</em>

<em>b = y-intercept</em>

<em>y = a given y coordinate</em>

<em>x = a corresponding x coordinate</em>

<em />

First, we need to find the slope (m).

1) (4, -1)

2) (2/3)

m = slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{3-(-1)}{2-4} = \frac{4}{-2} = -2

plug in the values to the equation <u>y = mx + b</u>

<u />

-1 = -2(4) + b

-1 = -8 + b

7 = b

now, we can substitute in m and b into the equation y = mx + b

<u><em>y = -2x + 7</em></u>
