Answer: a) -$0.19, b) -$111.72 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of free throws = 434

Number of throws made by them = 390

Amount for making the next 2 free throws = $40

Amount otherwise he has to pay = $169

a) Find the expected value of the proposition.

Expected value of success in next 2 free throws = \dfrac{390}{434}\times \dfrac{391}{435}=0.8077

Expected value would be

0.8077\times 40+(1-0.8077)\times -169\\\\=32.308-32.4987\\\\=-\$0.19

b)  If you played this game 588 times how much would you expect to win or lose?

Number of times they played the game = 588

So, Expected value would be

588\times -0.19\\\\=-\$111.72

Hence, a) -$0.19, b) -$111.72

Answer:

\large \boxed{27 \, \%} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent error}&= &\dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \,\%\\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert 10 - 13.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \% \\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert -3.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \%\\ \\& = & \dfrac{3.75}{13.75} \times 100 \,\%\\\\& = & 0.27 \times 100 \, \%\\& = & \mathbf{27 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\text{The percent error is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{27 \, \%} }$}
