Question

Many states run lotteries to raise money. A website advertises that it knows​ "how to increase YOUR chances of Winning the​ Lottery." They offer several systems and criticize others as foolish. One system is called Lucky Numbers. People who play the Lucky Numbers system just pick a​ "lucky" number to​ play, but maybe some numbers are luckier than others.​ Let's use a simulation to see how well this system works. To make the situation​ manageable, simulate a simple lottery in which a single digit from 0 to 9 is selected as the winning number. Any value can be​ picked, but for this​ exercise, pick 1 as the lucky number. What proportion of the time do you​ win? Run 60 trials using the random numbers given​ below, starting with the first number. 89064 27308 64568 14121 98226 65388 58732 85801 69902 78431 10380 42006

Answer 1

10 percent

Explanation:

hello,

from this question, it has been stated that the lucky number is 1

from all of these values below we are to account how many times 1 appeared in these numbers have

89064, 27308, 64568 ,14121, 98226, 65388, 58732, 85801, 69902, 78431, 10380, 42006.

the total number of 1 is 6

= 6 x 1 divided by the number of trials 60

= 6 x 1/60

= 0.1

to get the proportion, we multiply 0.1 by 100

0.1 x 100

= 10%
