Answer:

Expected Value = - 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value [ E(X) ]  = Σ  {X. Probability (X)} = Σ [ (X).P(X) ]

  • Case 1 : Lottery Won

Probability = 1 / 1000

X Value = 500 - 1 = 499

  • Case 2 : Lottery Lost

Probability =  1 - Probability Winning = 999 / 1000

X Value = -1

  • Expected Value :

(1 / 1000) (499) + (999 / 1000) (-1)

0.499 - 0.999

= - 0.5

The values that exist two standard deviations above and below the mean are 681 and 265.

<h3>How to determine the values?</h3>

The given parameters exist:

Mean = 473

Standard deviation =104

The values above and below the mean exist calculated utilizing:

$x=\bar{x} \pm n \sigma$

In this case n = 2.

So, we have, $x=\bar{x} \pm 2 \sigma$

The value above is:

x = 473 + 2 * 104 = 681

The value below is:

x = 473 - 2 * 104 = 265

Therefore, the values that exist two standard deviations above and below the mean are 681 and 265.
