Answer: The expected value of touchdown is 2.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of making a field goal for 3 points = 90%

Probability of making a touchdown for 7 points = 35%

So, Expected value of a touchdown would be

$\sum xp(x)=7\times \dfrac{35}{100}=\dfrac{245}{100}=2.45$

Hence, the expected value of touchdown is 2.45.
