Answer:

$10

Explanation:

Lets assume we choice or go for option B, we will have a 0.999 probability of winning $2, and also we will have 0.001 probability of winning the $800. This is to say, expectation value B will be given as;

E(B) = 0.999×2+0.001×800

E(B) = $9.80

By approximating, we have expectation of B to be $10

Answer:

$10

Explanation:

By choosing option B, you have a 0.001 chance of winning $8000, and a 0.999 chance of winning the $2 consolation prize. Therefore, the expected value of option B is given by:

E(B) = 0.001*\$8000+0.999*\$2\\E(B)=\$9.998

Rounding to the nearest cent, the expectation of option B is also $10.
