A local church holds an annual raffle to raise money for a new roof. They sell only 500 tickets at $50 each. This year's prizes include: $3,000 in cash, four $100 Amazon gift cards, and two $75 Visa gift cards. You buy one ticket. What is your mathematical expectation for this game

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expectation for an event with outcomes:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

Each one with probability:

{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}

Is:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

There are 500 tickets sold.

1 of these, wins $3,000  (this is the event x₁)

4 of these, wins $100     (this is the event x₂)

2 of these, wins $75        (this is the event x₃)

The others do not have a prize.

So the probability of winning the $3000 is equal to the quotient between the number of tickets with that prize (1) and the total number of tickets (500)

p₁ = 1/500

Similarly, the probability of winning $100 will be:

p₂ = 4/500

And for the $75 prize:

p₃ = 2/500

Then the probability of not winning is:

p₄ = 493/500

Then the expected value for a single ticket is:

Ev = $0*493/500 + $75*2/500 + $100*4/500 + $3000*1/500

Ev = $7.1

If you take in account that you pay $50 for the ticket, the actual expectation should be:

E = $7.10 - $50 = -$42.90

Rebecca buys a new couch for $1,200. She plans on making a monthly payment of $75 on the balance, starting the month
after she buys the couch. Which recursive function models the amount of money Rebecca still has to pay for the couch?

Answers

The recursive function is A(t + 1) = A(t) - 75

Where;

A(t) = 1,200 - 75×t

The known parameter are;

The amount Rebecca buys the new couch = $1,200

The amount she plans to make as monthly payment = $75

The time she plans to start paying = The month after she buys the couch

Strategy;

Define a recursive function that models the amount of money Rebecca still has to pay

Definition

A recursive function is one which has its own process as an input in the process of its implementation

A recursive function that models the amount of money Rebecca still has to pay for the couch is found as follows;

The amount left for her to pay in the present month = The amount left to pay in the previous month - $75

Let A(t + 1) represent the amount left for her to pay in the present month and let A(t) represent the amount left to pay in the previous month, we get;

A(t) = 1,200 - 75×t

A(t + 1) = 1,200 - 75×t - 75 = A(t) - 75

The recursive function is A(t + 1) = A(t) - 75

The function is recursive because, the function, A(t), is called in as an input to the execution of the function

Answer:

f(1) = 1,200

f(n) = f(n-1) -75 for n > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial loan amount is $1,200, f(1) =1200.

And since $75 is deducted from the balance each month starting with n >2 , the common difference, d, is  -75 .

Use the general recursive function for an arithmetic sequence,f(n)= f (n - 1 ) +d , for n > 2 to write the recursive function models Rebecca’s situation:

(A) The weight of cans of vegetables is normally distributed with a mean of 1380 grams and a standard deviation of 80 grams. What is the probability that the sample mean of weight for 15 randomly selected cans is more than 1410

Answers

Answer:

7.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = 1380

σ = 80  

n = 15  

P(x>1410)  

= (1410-1380)/((80)/(sqrt(15)))

= 1.4524  

P(z>1.4524) = 0.4265  (from the graph)

P(z>1.4524) = 0.5 - 0.4265 = 0.0735

A health club sold ten memberships in one week for total of $3000. If male memberships cost $300 and female memberships cost $300, then how many male memberships and how female memberships were sold?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason you haven't gotten an answer to this is because in its current formatting, there is no answer. Here's what I mean:

The first equation is going to be concerning the NUMBER of memberships sold, where m is male and f is female. The total number of memberships was 10:

m + f = 10

Now for the money equation. The total amount of money made from that number of memberships was 3000, where male memberships cost $300 and so do the female memberships, giving us an equation of

300m + 300f = 3000

Go back to the first equation and solve for either m or f. I solved for m in terms of f:

m = 10 - f and sub that into the second equation for m to get:

300(10 - f) + 300f = 3000 and

3000 - 300f + 300f = 3000. Here is where you find the problem. The -300f and the 300f cancel each other out, leaving you with the fact that

3000 = 3000 which it does, but it doesn't give us any viable answer.

I would have to say that since we can't do math on this, that the most credible answer you'll find is that the same number of male and female memberships were sold because 5 male memberships cost $1500 (5 memberships at $300 a piece is $1500) and 5 female memberships also cost $1500.

1500 + 1500 = 3000

Each machine at a certain factory can produce 90 units per hour. The setup cost is 20 dollars for each machine and the operating cost is 26 dollars per hour (total, not 26 dollars per machine per hour). You would like to know how many machines should be used to produce 40000 units, with the goal of minimizing production costs.
First, find a formula for the total cost in terms of the number of machines, n:_______
TC = ______
machines for a total cost of The minimum total cost is achieved when using dollars.

Answers

Answer:

a)  [tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

b)  [tex]n=24[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Rate r=90 units per hour

Setup cost =20

Operating Cost =26

Units=40000

Generally the equation for Total cost is mathematically given by

[tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]T_n=20n+\frac{11556}{n}\\\\T_n=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}.....equ 1[/tex]

Differentiating

[tex]T_n'=\frac{n(40n)-(40n^2+11556)}{n_2}\\\\T_n'=\frac{20n^2-11556}{n^2}.....equ 2[/tex]

Equating equ 1 to zero

[tex]0=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}[/tex]

[tex]n=24[/tex]

Therefore

Substituting n

For Equ 1

[tex]T_n=\frac{20(24)^2+11556}{24}[/tex]

F(n)>0  

For Equ 2

[tex]T_n'=\frac{20(24)^2-11556}{24^2}[/tex]

a = -3, f(a) = -1,

b = 5, f(b) = -1,

Answers

Answer: 210 secs (3 mins, 30 secs)

Step-by-step explanation:

No of minutes gained every 10 days = 5 mins

No of minutes gained every day = 5 ÷ 10

                                                      = 0.5 min (30 secs)

Xd = Σd/n

d = -198,-336,-70,-18,-122,-9,-50,-5,-163,-86
