Answer:

$6,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the expected value.

We know the expected value of a scenario is the sum of the products of each probability of event and its profit or loss.

There are 3 probabilities in the scenario:

Rainy: 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

Sunny: 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

Cloudy: Rest, which is 100 - (50+20) = 100 - 70 = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now, the gain and loss is:

Rainy: Lose 5000 means -5000

Cloudy: Gain 4000 means +4000

Sunny: Gain 12,000 means +12,000

Now, the expected value is:

Expected Value = (0.2)(-5000) + (0.5)(12000) + (0.3)(4000) =  $6,200

dedylja [7]

Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.

Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
