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

Which problem could be solved with the expression 4*(4+2)
Rina8888 [55]
The answer is A.

He ran for six (6) miles every day. 4 in the morning and 2 at night = 6 per day.

He did this for four (4) days. The way to figure this would be to go 6 * 4. This equals 24 miles.

Go back a few steps (punny!).

So days multiplied by how many miles he ran a day which is calculated by miles in morning added to miles at night.

days*(miles per morning + miles per night)

days=4
miles per morning=4
miles per night = 2

4 * (4+2)

Calculating this out....

4 * (4+2)

(4+2 = 6)

4 * 6 = 24.

So A is the answer.
