Answer:

  Project A: $55,000 Project B: $50,800 Contractor should choose project A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the project is the sum of products of profit and its probability:

In thousands, ...

  A:  (50×0.6) +(80×0.3) +(10×0.1) = 30 +24 +1 = 55 . . . thousand

  B:  (100×0.1) +(64×0.7) +(-20×0.2) = 10 +44.8 -4 = 50.8 . . . thousand

__

The contractor should choose Project A based on the expected value of profit.
