The probability that Nins goes 0 days is 0.2, the probability that she goes 1 day is 0.50, and the probability that she goes 2 days is 0.30. You can write these data as a table:

\begin{array}{cccc}    x_i & 0 & 1 & 2 \\    p_i & 0.2 & 0.5 & 0.3   \end{array}

where x_i are numbers of days and p_i are probabilities.

The expected value of the number of days per week on which Nina goes to the supermarket is

E(X)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^3x_ip_i=0\cdot 0.2+1\cdot 0.5+2\cdot 0.3=0.5+0.6=1.1.

Answer: the expected value of the number of days per week on which Nina goes to the supermarket is 1.1.

Taxes on the property buyer Tamara is purchasing are $8,200, due on December 31. If the closing is set for June 29th, using the
rosijanka [135]

The buyer will be paying taxes for 185 days, so will pay

... (185/365)·$8200 = $4156

Your most appropriate choice seems to be $4178, which corresponds to 186 days' taxes.

_____

There are 30 days in each month in the last half of the year, plus 1 additional day in each of July, August, October, and December. The 30th of June also belongs to the buyer (but the 29th, closing day, does not), so there are 180+5 = 185 days for which the buyer must pay taxes. The answer choices don't include that value.
