Directions: Accomplish the following word problem completely. Each item is worth 10 points.
1. Seven hundred raffle tickets are sold at P10 each for a chance to win P6000. What is your expected winnings
when you are to buy 6 tickets?
x -₱60 ₱5940
699 1
P(x) 700 700
694 6
E(x)= -₱60 ( 700 ) + ₱5940 ( 700 )
E(x)= -59.49+50.91
E(x)= -₱8.58
Thus, if I were to buy 6 out of 700 raffle tickets I will lose ₱8.58 instead of winning
₱5940.
