The mean of the random variable w that represents the total amount won is; -$4.50

We are given quantity of chips inside the bag as;

  • Number of red chips = 10
  • Number of blue chips = 4
  • Number of Yellow chips = 6

Total number of chips = 20

Thus;

  • P(Red chips) = 10/20 = 0.5
  • P(blue chips) 4/20 = 0.2
  • P(Yellow Chips) = 6/20 = 0.3

Amount won from the selection of Red Chip = 0.5 * $5 = $2.5

Amount won from the selection blue Chip = 0.2 * $10 = $2

Amount won from selection of yellow chip = 0.3 * $20 = $6

Thus;

x = $2.5 + $2 + $6

x = $10.5

We are told that total amount won is gotten from;

w = x − 15

Thus;

w = 10.5 - 15

w = -$4.50
