People who win a carnival game spIn a wheel to determine therr prize. The wheel has three sections that name prizes. The \( \$ 5 \) Cash section and the Stuffed Animal section are each \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the wheel. The Keychain section is \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the wheel. A total of 20 people spin the wheel. The table shows the number of people who receive each prize. Why is the probability of receiving each of the prizes on the wheel representative of the data in the table? Use the drop-down menus to explain. Prize Wheel \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Prize & Number of People \\ \hline \$5 Cash & 5 \\ \hline Keychain & 11 \\ \hline Stuffed Animal & 4 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Click the arrows to choose an answer from each menu. Based on the data in the table, the probability of receiving each prize is the ratio of the number of people who receive the prize to the total number of people who Choose... . These ratios are Choose... . The expected probability of landing on each prize on the wheel is representative of the results in the table because these ratios are Choose... equal to Choose...

Step 1
- The wheel is divided into three sections: $5 Cash, Keychain, and Stuffed Animal. - The $5 Cash section and the Stuffed Animal section each make up \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the wheel. - The Keychain section makes up \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the wheel. Show more…

A marketing company is having an employee raffle to decide who gets to go on a day trip to the local amusement park. A group of 10 is to be chosen at random from a pool of qualified employees. There are 4 departments within this marketing company, of which, 4 employees are eligible for the raffle in Department A, 3 employees are eligible from department B, 5 employees are eligible from department C, and 7 employees eligible in department D. d.) What is the probability that both Jim and Dwight are selected, and each department has at least one member present in the group? e.) At the amusement park, the group of 10 are waiting in line for the teacup ride. The ride consists of 5 differently colored teacups that can seat 2 people each. What is the probability that Jim and Dwight will sit in the same teacup together if everybody gets in the teacups at random? f.) Later that day, the group of 10 decide to sit down at a picnic table for lunch. Each side of the picnic table seats 5. If Dwight refuses to have Jim sit on other side of him, or in front of him, then how many ways can the group sit down at the picnic table? (Hint: Examine each case depending on where Dwight sits)

The prizes at a carnival tossing game are different stuffed animals. There are 34 tigers, 27 bears, 12 hippopotamuses, 16 giraffes, and 22 monkeys. The carnival manager randomly selects a prize when a player wins the game. Determine the probability that the prize selected is not a monkey. Give your answer as a decimal, precise to three decimal places

A Wheel of Fortune has 20 equally likely numbers: 1, 2, 3....18, 19, 20. If 7 comes up the player wins $200. If 2, 3, or 11 comes up the player wins $50 If any other number comes up the player loses $25. Make up a probability distribution for this Wheel of Fortune. What is the expected value of a spin of the wheel? If you play 10 times, what is your expectation?
