Claire is considering investing in a new business. in the first year, there is a probability of 0.2 that the new business will lose $10,000, a probability of 0.4 that the new business will break even ($0 loss or gain), a probability of 0.3 that the new business will make $5,000 in profits, and a probability of 0.1 that the new business will make $8,000 in profits. a. claire should invest in the company if she makes a profit. should she invest? explain using expected values.

The expected value of business profit is the sum of probability times profit:

... 0.2×(-10,000) + 0.4×0 + 0.3×5,000 + 0.1×8,000

... = -2000 + 1500 + 800

... = 300 . . . dollars

The expected value of the business return is slightly positve, so Claire should invest in the business.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.

slope= 1
