The expected value of the outcome of the bid is $0.18

So let's start by counting how many bids are placed up to a total of 160.

100*160 = 16000.

What will be your arbitrary bid? As each bid has an equal chance of success, the average of all bids is used. (One cent plus 160 dollars) / 2 = 80 dollars (rounded)

Your odds of winning are 1/16000 (1 bid out of 16000).

If you win, your profit is 1920 ($2000 minus $80.00).

1920/16000 is $0.12

Your cost to enter the auction is $1, and your average winning offer is $0.12.

The result is $0.18 (0.12-1=-0.88).

Thus the expected value of the outcome of the bid is $0.18

15m + 2n, first you have to pair the matching variables, 8m and 7m along with the sign in front of them. so 8m(+7m), you would then add those then do the same with the other, +4n(postive) and -2n, so subtract 2 from 4 and get 2. put them together and it’s 15m+2
