$10 entry fee for a game We choose a number from 10 to 99 if it matches the lottery •If the user input matches the lottery in exact order, the award is $10,000. •If the user input matches the lottery, the award is $3,000. •If one digit in the user input matches a digit in the lottery, the award is $1,000. if we don't know any item we get 5 dollars What is the probability of us playing this game only once and earning money?

Dividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an 8,000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning and that of B winning if the game were to continue? The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.

Monkeys Typing Shakespeare An often-quoted example of an event of extremely low probability is that a monkey types Shakespeare’s entire play Hamlet by randomly striking keys tin a typewriter. Assume that the typewriter has 48 keys (including the space bar) and that the monkey is equally likely lo hit any key. Find the probability that such a monkey will actually correctly type just the title of the play as his first word. What is the probability that the monkey will type the phrase "To be or not to be" as his first words?
