A raffle offers a first prize of $1000, 2 second prizes of $300, and 20 third prizes of $10 each. If 20000 tickets are sold at 2

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The expected winnings for a person buying 1 ticket is -0.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A raffle offers a first prize of $1000, 2 second prizes of $300, and 20 third prizes of $10 each. If 20000 tickets are sold at 25 cents each, find the expected winnings for a person buying 1 ticket.

To find : What are the expected winnings?

Solution :

There are one first prize, 2 second prize and 20 third prizes.

Probability of getting first prize is $\frac{1}{20000}$

Probability of getting second prize is $\frac{2}{20000}$

Probability of getting third prize is $\frac{20}{20000}$

A raffle offers a first prize of $1000, 2 second prizes of $300, and 20 third prizes of $10 each.

So, The value of prizes is

$\frac{1}{20000}\times 1000+\frac{2}{20000}\times 300+\frac{20}{20000}\times 10$

If 20000 tickets are sold at 25 cents each i.e. $0.25.

Remaining tickets = 20000-1-2-20=19977

Probability of getting remaining tickets is $\frac{19977}{20000}$

The expected value is

$E=\frac{1}{20000}\times 1000+\frac{2}{20000}\times 300+\frac{20}{20000}\times 10-\frac{19977}{20000}\times 0.25$

$E=\frac{1000+600+200-4994.25}{20000}$

$E=\frac{-3194.25}{20000}$

$E=-0.159$

Therefore, The expected winnings for a person buying 1 ticket is -0.2.

If AB=48 and BC=22, then AC=?

alexandr1967 [171]

If A, B and C are collinear, then

1) if B is between A and C:

AC = AB + BC

AC = 48 + 22 = 70

2) if C is between A and B:

AB = AC + BC

48 = AC + 22 |-22

AC = 26

3) if A is between B and C:

BC = AB + AC

22 = 48 + AC |-48

AC = - 26 < 0 FALSE

Answer:

if B is between A and C, then AC = 70

if C is between A and B, then AC = 26
