One thousand raffle tickets are sold at $1 each. Three tickets will be drawn at random (without replacement), and each will pay $192. Suppose you buy 5 tickets. (A) Create a payoff table for 0, 1, 2, and 3 winning tickets among the 5 tickets you purchased. (If you do not have any winning tickets, you lose $5, if you have 1 winning ticket, you net $187 since your initial $5 will not be returned to you, and so on.) (B) What is the expected value of the raffle to you? (A) Let X be the random variable for the amount won on a single raffle ticket. Create a payoff table for 0, 1, 2, and 3 winning tickets among the 5 tickets you purchased. X-$5 $187 $379 $571 P₁ (Type an integer or decimal rounded to eight decimal places as needed.)

A local hardware store has a “Savings Wheel" at the checkout. Customers get to spin the wheel and, when the wheel stops, a pointer indicates how much they will save. The wheel can stop in any one of 50 sections. Of the sections, 10 produce 0% off, 20 sections are for 10% off, 10 sections for 20%, 5 for 30%, 3 for 40%, 1 for 50%, and 1 for 100% off. Assuming that all 50 sections are equally likely, a. What is the probability that a customer's purchase will be free (100% off)? b. What is the probability that a customer will get no savings from the wheel (0% off)? c. What is the probability that a customer will get at least 20% off?
