You are playing a lottery, which costs $2, in which the expected winning on each ticket is .89$. Explain what this means in regards to how much you lose when you play.
Over many tickets, the player would lose around $1.11 on each ticket.

Suppose we know Ben runs normally with a mean of 5.02 minutes in a 1600 and a standard deviation of .28 minutes. Find the average combined time if both boys ran the 1600.
