A charity organization hosts a raffle drawing at a fund raising event. The organization sells 2500 tickets at a price of $8 each. Winning tickets are randomly selected, with 30 prizes of $100, 10 prizes of $500, and 1 grand prize of $8000. Suppose you buy one ticket. Let the random variable X represent your net gain from playing the game once (remember that the net gain should include the cost of the ticket). 1. Use the table below to help you construct a probability distribution for all of the possible values of X and their probabilities.

Suppose 10% of all redeemed coupons at a supermarket are for 50% off the item purchased. A simulation is used to model a coupon randomly selected and then recorded as 50% off or not 50% off. Which simulation best models the scenario? Place 40 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 40, 4 read "50% off" and the rest read "not 50% off ". O Place 30 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 30, 6 read "50% off" and the rest read "not 50% off ". O Place 80 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat.
