Answer:

[tex]E(x) = 21834[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above data

Required

Determine the expected value E(x)

E(x) is calculated as thus;

[tex]E(x) = \sum xf(x)[/tex]

Where f(x) represents the total sale of each outcome;

For A:

[tex]f(x) = 295 *34[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 10030[/tex]

For B:

[tex]f(x) =510 *49[/tex]

[tex]f(x) =24990[/tex]

For C:

[tex]f(x) = 790 *59[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 46610[/tex]

Hence, E(x):

[tex]E(x) = 0.5 * 10030 + 0.30 * 24990 + 0.20 * 46610[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 21834[/tex]
