Ask a New Question

my question is:

So if the chance is 1 in 17,259,390 of winning, what is the expected value of the win?

How would I do this problem. Hope you can help. Thank you

1 answer

1/17259390 times the value of the prize.

So, if the prize it at least that much, a $1 ticket expects to make more than a buck.
