So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5?
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

$\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$

As we know that,

$E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)$

$\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}$

Now,

$x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36$

and

$P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31$

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.
