Answer:

6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The bag contained a mixture of regular flavored jellybeans and "surprise" jellybeans.

There are 40 jellybeans in the bag.

If 15% of the jellybean were "surprise" flavors.

Then, the number of expected "surprise" jellybeans will be:

= 15% of 40 jellybeans

= (15/100) × 40

= 6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

If  6 surprise jellybean is contained in the bag;

Thus, the number of regular flavored jellybean will be

= 40 - 6

= 34 regular flavored jellybean

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The number of viewers Network A expects will watch their show is 1.4 million viewers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is calculated by multiplying the possible outcomes by the probability of their occurrence and adding the results

Therefore, we have the expected value given by the following expression;

Estimated network A viewers  where network B schedule top show = 1.1 million viewers

Estimated network A viewers where network B schedule a different show = 1.6 million viewers

Probability that Network B will air its top show = 0.4

Probability that Network B will air another show = 0.6

We therefore have;

Expected value, E of Network A viewers is therefore;

E = 1.1 × 0.4 + 1.6 × 0.6 =  0.44 + 0.96 = 1.4 million viewers.

Network A expects 1.4 million viewers will watch their show.
