Answer:

The classification of that same given problem is outlined in the following portion on the clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  E[x]=\Sigma_{x=0}^{x} \ x \ f(x)

On putting the values, we get

⇒         =0\times \frac{3}{4}+225\times \frac{1}{4}  -40\times 1

⇒         =\frac{225}{4}-40

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒         =\frac{225-160}{4}

⇒         =\frac{65}{4}

⇒         =16.25

1...

Whether she wins she would receive $225 with even a 1/4 chance, then she will lose and maybe get $0 with such a 3/4 chance although if she takes a gamble anyway though she will either have to compensate $40 wp 1.

2...

She seems to want the capital to benefit or win.
