so, the repairman charges $45 for each hour of work, and $44 for the parts, now the parts are obtained only once, so that's a one-time charge of 44 bucks, let's see how the hours go.
1 hour of work................... 45 + 44(1)
2 hours of work................45 + 44(2)
3 hours of work................45 + 44(3)
4 hours of work................45 + 44(4)
x hours of work................45 + 44(x)
so the cost equation, with x = hours, C(x) = 45 + 44x.
what is x if C(x) = 179?
The expected value of the winnings from the game is $4
<h3>How to determine the expected value?</h3>The payout probability distribution is given as:
Payout ($) 2 4 6 8 10
Probability 0.5 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05
The expected value is then calculated as:
This gives
E(x) = 2 * 0.5 + 4 * 0.2 + 6 * 0.15 + 8 * 0.1 + 10 * 0.05
Evaluate the expression
E(x) = 4
Hence, the expected value of the winnings from the game is $4
