Make Sense? Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. My expected value in a state lottery game is \(\$ 7.50\).
The expected value for purchasing a ticket in a raffle is \(-\$ 0.75\). Describe what this means. Will a person who purchases a ticket lose \(\$ 0.75 ?\)
Make Sense? In Exercises 82-85, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. If a fourth child is born into a family with three boys, the odds in favor of a girl are better than \(1: 1\).
An ice chest contains six cans of apple juice, eight cans of grape juice, four cans of orange juice, and two cans of mango juice. Suppose that you reach into the container and randomly select three cans in succession. Find the probability of selecting three cans of grape juice.
The tables in Exercises 3-4 show claims and their probabilities for an insurance company. a. Calculate the expected value and describe what this means in practical terms. b. How much should the company charge as an average premium so that it breaks even on its claim costs? c. How much should the company charge to make a profit of \(\$ 50\) per policy? PROBABILITIES FOR HOMEOWNERS' INSURANCE CLAIMS $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \begin{array}{c} \text { Amount of Claim (to the } \\ \text { nearest } \$ \mathbf{\$ 5 0 , 0 0 0 )} \end{array} & \text { Probability } \\ \hline \$ 0 & 0.65 \\ \hline \$ 50,000 & 0.20 \\ \hline \$ 100,000 & 0.10 \\ \hline \$ 150,000 & 0.03 \\ \hline \$ 200,000 & 0.01 \\ \hline \$ 250,000 & 0.01 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
