The game is played by Drawing five white balls out of a drum of 69 white balls (numbered 1-69) and one red power bowl out of a drum 26 red balls (numbered 1-29) The jackpot is one by matching all five white balls in any order in the red Powerball.

The expected value for purchasing one ticket for the jackpot = $77.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We first compute the probability mass function for the problem.

Probability of winning the jackpot

One has to get all 5 white ball and the one red ball correctly. There are 69 white balls and 26 red balls.

5 white balls can be selected from 69 with order not important, and 1 red ball selected from 26 red balls in

⁶⁹C₅ × ²⁶C₁ ways = 292,201,338 ways

And there are (5! × 1) different combinations of those winning numbers = 120 combinations (since order isn't important for the 5 numbers of the white balls)

Required Probability of winning

= (120 ÷ 292,201,338) = 0.0000004107

= (4.107 × 10⁻⁷)

To win, one would buy a $2 ticket, and win $193 million.

Amount of winnings = 193,000,000 - 2 = $192,999,998

Probability of losing = 1 - (Probability of winning) = 1 - (4.107 × 10⁻⁷) = 1

To lose, one would buy a $2 ticket and win nothing.

Amount of winnings = 0 - 2 = -$2

So, the probability mass function

X | 192,999,998 | -2

p | (4.107 × 10⁻⁷) | 1

Expected value = E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

E(X) = [(192,999,998) × (4.107 × 10⁻⁷)] + (-2)(1)

E(X) = 79.26 - 2 = $77.26

Hope this Helps!!!

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
