NO LINKS OR ELSE YOU'LL BE REPORTED!Only answer if you're very good at Math. No guessing please. Angelo's Pizza is having a ticket raffle to raise money for new soccer uniforms. A $1 ticket gives an even chance to win one $25 gift certificate, one $15 gift certificate, or three $5 gift certificates. What is the expected profit or loss for purchasing 1 ticket if 100 total tickets are sold?

A: a gain of $0.45

B: a gain of $0.55

C: a loss of $0.55

D: a loss of $0.45​

===============================================

Explanation:

Let x be the net winnings the customer gets

Saying something like x = 24 means you've walked away with $24. This occurs when you pay $1, and get $25 back in prizes, so 25-1 = 24 dollars overall.

The probability of this event occurring is 1/100 since there's only one ticket with the $25 prize

Make a table as shown below. It represents all the possible x values which are all the possible net winnings. Note how 1/100 = 0.01, 3/100 = 0.03 and 95/100 = 0.95

The third column is x*p(x) which is the product of the first two columns. Adding everything in the third column (that isn't highlighted in yellow) gets us the value -0.45 which is the expected value for the customer.

This represents a loss of $0.45, aka a loss of 45 cents. This is from the perspective of the customer.

Flipping things around, the pizza company will see this is as a gain of $0.45 or a gain of 45 cents.

----------------

Here's another way to see why this works:

The pizza company earns $100 in revenue since 100 tickets are sold for a dollar each. The company pays out 25+15+3*5 = 55 dollars in prizes overall. That means the company will make a profit of 100-55 = 45 dollars. So the average profit per ticket is 45/100 = $0.45 aka 45 cents and this is from the viewpoint of the pizza company (not the customer). The positive average profit represents a gain.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
