A local flower shop is selling $1 raffle tickets and is donating all proceeds to the children's hospital. They sold 5,500 ticket

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The expected value of purchasing a raffle ticket would be $0.3449.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tickets = 5500

Number of flower arrangements = 20

Number of gift certificates = 20

So, Probability that wining $70 at flower arrangement = $\dfrac{20}{5500}=\dfrac{1}{275}$

Probability that wining $25 at gift certificates = $\dfrac{20}{5500}=\dfrac{1}{275}$

So, Expected value of purchasing a raffle ticket would be

$70\times \dfrac{1}{275}+25\times \dfrac{1}{275}\\\\=0.254+0.0909\\=\$0.3449$

Hence, the expected value of purchasing a raffle ticket would be $0.3449.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Method A

$(3*\pi )*11\approx103.62$

$(4*\pi )*11\approx138.16$

$138.16-103.62=34.54$

$34.54\div\pi\approx11$

Method B

$3\pi*11=33\pi$

$4\pi*11=44\pi$

$44\pi-33\pi=11\pi$
