Using the lottery chart, find the expected value of the lottery ticket. How much is it worth on
average? (Don't put a $ sign, since that will make Blackboard upset.) Finally, consider the fact that
the ticket costs $2. Find the net value of a lottery ticket. So final value proposition here is the mean
value, the expected value. Think again about "The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at
math'!Some say "the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math." What do you think? Well,
let's look at a real lottery. This is from the Mega Millions website*. Using the chart below, what is
