Based on the cost of the contract and the probability to win it, the total expected value of the contract proposal is -$2500.

<h3>How to calculate the expected value of a contract proposal?</h3>

The general formula to calculate the expected value is:

Expected value: possibility of winnind the contract x the amount when winning - possibility of loing the contract x possible loss

Possibility of winning the contract= 0.10
Possibility of losing the contract = 0.90
Gain: $65000
Loss: $10000

<h3>What is the expected value of the contract?</h3>

Expected value: 0.10 x 65000 - 0.90 x 10000
Expected value: 6500 - 9000
Expected value: -$2500

Determine if the following equations form a perpendicular line or not

GREYUIT [131]

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept.

If two lines are perpendicular, then they will have slopes that are <u>negative reciprocals</u> to each other. An example of negative reciprocals are 2 and -1/2

Now with line 2, I have to convert it to slope intercept form. Firstly, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation: $-5y=-2x+8$
