At a raffle, 1000 tickets are sold at $5 each. There are 20 prizes of $25, 5 prizes of $100, and 1 grand prize of $2000. Suppose you buy one ticket. Let the random variable X represent your net gain (remember that the net gain should include the cost of the ticket) after playing the game once. 1. Use the table below to help you construct a probability distribution for all of the possible values of X and their probabilities. X (Net Gain) Probability 2. Find the expected value of X, and interpret it in the context of the game. 3. If you play in such a raffle 100 times, what is the expected net gain? 4. What ticket price (rounded to two decimal places) would make it a fair game?

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), a subject is told that cards only the experimenter can see contain either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. a subject who is just guessing has probability 0.25 of guessing correctly on each card. a. the count of correct guesses in 20 cards has a binomial distribution. what are n and p? b. what is the mean number of correct guesses in 20 cards for subjects who are just guessing? c. what is the probability of exactly 5 correct guesses in 20 cards if a subject is just guessing?
