Answer:

A) There is a 50% chance the game ends in a tie, 10% chance you win (and therefore a 40%  chance you lose).

expected value = (50% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (40% x 0) = 10 + 5 + 0 = 15

B) There is a 50-50 chance of winning and there are no ties.

expected value = (50% x 50) + (50% x 0) + = 25 + 0 = 25

C) There is an 80% chance you lose and a 10% chance you win or tie.

expected value = (10% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (80% x 0) = 2 + 5 + 0 = 7

The expected value of an event is determined by adding up all the possible outcomes multiplied by their respective value.

Answer:

$1,107,793.41

Explanation:

The value of the payment today can be ascertained using the present value of an annuity due formula since the first payment is immediate as shown thus:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r*(1+r)

monthly payment=$12,500

r=monthly interest rate=6.48%/12=0.0054

n=number of monthly payments in 10 year=10*12=120

PV=$12,500*(1-(1+0.0054)^-120/0.0054*(1+0.0054)

PV=$12,500*(1-(1.0054)^-120/0.0054*(1.0054)

PV=$12,500*(1-0.524003627 )/0.0054*1.0054

PV=$12,500*0.475996373 /0.0054*1.0054

PV=$1,107,793.41
