Transcribed Image Text:Q2 The Powerball Lottery
15 Points
The Powerball lottery is based on a random drawing of six balls from two machines. One machine
contains 69 white balls (labeled 1 through 69) and the other machine contains 26 red balls (labeled
1 through 26). To determine the winning numbers, the gamemaster draws five white balls from the
first machine and one red ball (the "Powerball") from the second machine (assume all outcomes
are equally likely).
A player in the Powerball lottery picks five different numbers between 1 and 69 (inclusive) and a
sixth number between 1 and 26 (inclusive), which may duplicate one of the first five numbers.
For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the
final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4, 2)/24) instead of 0.375.

Transcribed Image Text:Q2.2 What is the probability that a player wins $100 by matching exactly four of the first five
numbers (in any order), but not the sixth number?

- In the game Rock paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors. If both players choose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows: Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors. Scissors beats paper, because scissors can cut paper. Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock. Create a game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors. Let the user enter a character, r, p, or s, each representing one of the three choices. Then, determine the winner. Save the application as RockPaperScissors.cs.arrow_forwardWhen you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forwardAt most, a class can contain ____________ method(S). 0 1 2 any number ofarrow_forward
