Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit would be the sum of all the possibility multiplied. It means,

<em>"We need to multiply the profit by its possibility and add it with the product of the loss and its possibility."</em>

<em />

This will be the expectation, or expected profit.

Let's do it:

Expected Profit = (26,000)(0.7) + (-8000)(0.3) = 15,800

The correct answer is A

Eddie scored at least 27 point more than half of what Duncan scored.eddie score 58points. Wright an inequality that could be sol
Jobisdone [24]

For this case we have:

Let:

x: number of points scored by Duncan

y: number of points scored by Eddie

We have:

y\geq27 +\frac{x}{2} (1)

y = 58 (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

58\geq27+\frac{x}{2}

58-27\geq\frac{x}{2}

31\geq\frac{x}{2}

2*31\geqx\\62\geq x

Thus, Duncan could have scored a maximum of 62 points.

Answer:

x\leq62 points scored by Duncan.
