Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. (13x + 8) + (2x + 7) = 180 (definition of same side interior angles)
step 2. 15x + 15 = 180 (like terms)
step 3. 15x = 165 (subtract 15 from each side)
step 4. x = 11. (divide both sides by 15)
<u>Answer:</u>
The expected value of construction company is $30500.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, A construction company is planning to bid on a building contract.
The bid costs $1,500 and has an 80% chance of being accepted.
If accepted, the company will receive $40,000 dollars.
We have to find the expected value.
We know that,
Expected value = probability
amount gained by bidding – bid amount
Expected value = 80% x 40000 – 1500
Expected value = 0.8 x 40000 – 1500
Expected value = 32000 – 1500
Expected value = 30500
Hence, the expected value is $30500.
That is mathematically impossible but maybe the other way around is possible. If you did 8765 divided by 5 you would get 1753. I hope this is what you want :)
