Question

I got zero, but that’s wrong.

Answer 1

Answer:

Expected value is 4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find expected value ⇒ multiply the value by it's probability

40% × ( -25,000 ) = - 10,000

Breaking means neither add nor subtract a given amount

20% × 0 = 0

35% × 40,000 = 14,000

∴ Expected value = -10,000 + 14,000 = 4,000

LOSS:                   -10,000

BREAK EVEN:       0

WIN:                       14,000

Expected value is 4,000

hope this helps....
