Answer:

$3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There two possible outcomes:

There is a 3/4 chance that the bid is rejected for a value of -$1,400

There is a 1/4 chance that the bid is accepted for a value of $17,600 - $1,400.

The expected value of the situation is:

E = \frac{3}{4}*(-1,400)+\frac{1}{4}*(17,600-1,400)\\E=\$3,000

The expected value is $3,000.

omeli [17]
There are several information's of immense importance in the problem. Based on these information's the answer to the question can be easily reached. The only thing that has to be kept in mind is the calculation part, otherwise it is a simple problem.
Now it is given that:
A large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk.
Then
Amount of milk required to make medium shake = (8/9) * (1/7) of a pint
                                                                              = 8/63 of a pint
Then it can be said that for making a medium chocolate shake , 8/63 of a pint of milk is required. This is the simplest form of the fraction and it cannot be expressed as a mixed number since the denominator is higher than the numerator.

Functions 1 and 2 are shown:
scoray [572]

Answer:

They have the same maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function 1: y = 4x^2 is symmetrical about the y axis so its maximum value is when x = 0, which is 9.

Function 2: The graph passes through 0, 9 (given) and the x intercepts (-2,0) and (2, 0) are equidistant from the origin so it is also symmetrical about the y-axis and it's maximum is also 9.
