Expected value​

Answer 1

Answer:

Expected value would be $ 0.896

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The price of the lottery ticket = $44800000,

Also, the probability of winning the grand prize = .000000020,

Thus, the expected value of the lottery ticket = value of the lottery ticket × probability of getting the lottery ticket

= 44800000 × .000000020

= $0.896

Note : value of lottery ticket = prize amount - cost of each ticket,

Here the cost price of a ticket is not given,

That's why we did not consider it.
