Original Problem: A charity organization hosts a raffle drawing at a fundraising event. The organization sells 2500 tickets at a price of $8 each. Winning tickets are randomly selected, with 30 prizes of $100, 10 prizes of $500, and 1 grand prize of $8000.
Suppose you buy one ticket. Let the random variable X represent your net gain from playing the game once (remember that the net gain should include the cost of the ticket).
Current Problem:
What ticket price would make it a fair game, so that, on average, neither the players nor the organizers of the raffle win or lose money? (Round to two decimal places.)
