Answer: $85,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a given population of two-earner male-female couples, male earnings have a mean of $40,000 per year and a standard deviation of $12,000.

\mu_M=40,000\ \ ;\sigma_M=12,000

Female earnings have a mean of $45,000 per year and a standard deviation of $18,000.

\mu_F=45,000\ \ ;\sigma_F=18,000

If  C denote the combined earnings for a randomly selected couple.

Then, the mean of C will be :-

\mu_c=\mu_M+\mu_F\\\\=40,000+45,000=85,000

Hence, the mean of C = $85,000

1st round:

One of 681 players, chosen at random, sits out that round and 680 players play. There will be 340 winners plus one player which sits - 341 players for the next round and 340 games

2nd round:

There will be 170 winners plus one player which sits - 171 players for the next round and 170 games

3rd round:

There will be 85 winners plus one player which sits - 86 players for the next round and 85 games

4th round:

There will be 43 winners - 43 players for the next round and 43 games

5th round:

There will be 21 winners plus one player which sits - 22 players for the next round and 21 games

6th round:

There will be 11 winners  - 11 players for the next round and 11 games

7th round:

There will be 5 winners plus one player which sits - 6 players for the next round and 5 games

8th round:

There will be 3 winners  - 3 players for the next round and 3 games

9th round:

There will be 1 winner plus one player which sits - 2 players for the next round and 1 game

10th round - final:

1 champion and 1 game.

In total,

340 + 170 + 85 + 43 + 21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 680 games
