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

31 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is mentioned in the question that

Height of baseball expressed in feet

T = time in seconds

Also

h=  -16t^2+64t+3

Now the time is 3.5 so put this value to the above equation

h = -16(3.5)^2 + 64(3.5) + 3

= -16(2.25) + 224 + 3

= -196 + 227

= 31

Therefore the height of a baseball is 31 feet and the same is to be considered
