Question

Marcos and Amaya work at a mobile phone company that offers customers an optional care plan. Customers can choose to pay an extra $50 when they buy a new phone, and if they damage their screen, then the company will cover the cost of the repair. Marcos and Amaya let X represent their company's net gain on the sale of a given care plan, and they find the expected value of X is E(X)=$25.
Marcos says, "If we sell many of these care plans, the average gain for our company will be about $25 per plan."
Amaya says, "For every 1,000 customers who buy this care plan, we can expect a net gain of about $25,000."
Whose statement is correct based on the expected value?

Answer 1

According to the given expected value, it is found that Marcos' statement is correct.

• The interpretation of the expected value is that over a large number of trials, the average value will be close to the expected value.

In this problem:

• The expected value is of $25.

• Hence, if many of the plans are sold, the average profit per plan will be of $25, and Marcos' statement is correct.

About Amaya's statement, among groups of 1,000 customers there can be variations, hence, she is incorrect.
