Suppose there is a weekly raffle with 200 tickets sold each week. You play every week for a year (52 weeks) and buy one ticket each time.
a. If you win only three times, what was your experimental probability of winning the weekly raffle?
b. What was your theoretical probability of winning each weekly raffle?

8.5.43 Question Help One thousand raffle tickets are sold at $1 each. Three tickets will be drawn at random (without replacement), and each will pay $205. 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 $200 since your initial $5 will not be returned to you,...

6- Suppose you buy a ticket for a raffle. The ticket's price is $5 and the prize is worth $200. If 100 tickets are sold, (a) What is the probability that you will win the prize? (b) How much money do you expect to win/lose?
Lottery: I buy one of 400 raffle tickets for $10. The sponsors then randomly select 1 grand prize worth $800, then 2 second prizes worth $300 each, and then 3 third prizes worth $100 each. The selections are made without replacement. (a) Complete the probability distribution for this raffle. Give your probabilities as a decimal (rounded to 4 decimal places) or as a fraction. Outcomes P(x) Win Grand Prize Win a Second Prize Win a Third Prize Win Nothing (b)...
Suppose 660 raffle tickets are sold for $2 each. A prize of $1,000 will be awarded to one of the ticketholders. Two other ticketholders will be awarded prizes of $100 each. How much should you expect to win or lose on average if you purchase one raffle ticket? Give the answer exactly or round it to two decimal places.
I buy one of 250 raffle tickets for $10. The sponsors then randomly select 1 grand prize worth $300, 2 second prizes worth $120 each, and 3 third prizes worth $50 each.

Suppose 1,250 raffle tickets are being sold for $5 each. One ticket will be chosen to receive a cash prize of $2,500, and three tickets will be chosen to receive cash prizes of $500. Let x be the amount of money won/lost by purchasing one raffle ticket. Find the expected value for X. (Round your answer to the nearest penny. Do not include a $ sign in your answer. Your answer may be positive or negative.)
