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

Determine the intercepts of the line.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An intercept is where the line hits the axis.

Lets start with x. The x intercept is always going to be what x equals when y = 0. So we know the second value of the x intercept is going to be 0, because the second value is y. The line hits the x axis at -1.2, so the x intercept is -1.2, 0

The y intercept it what y equals when x equals 0. So the first value is going to be 0, to represent x. The line hits the y intercept at the point 0, -0.7.
