A producer plans an outdoor concert for the weekend. The cost of the concert is $8,000 which includes advertising, security, printing, tickets, etc. The producer plans to profit $15,000 if all goes well. However, it it rains, the concert will be canceled. The chance of rain is 0.3 according to the weather report. Find the producer’s expected profit.

$8,100

Step-by-step explanation:

If it does not rain, the producer stands to make a profit of $15,000.

If it rains, the producer will lose the $8,000 they invested.

The chance of rain is 0.3 which means the chance it does not rain is 0.7.

Producer's expected profit is the weighted average of these outcomes;

= (15,000 * 0.7) + ( -8,000 * 0.3)

= 10,500 + ( - 2,400)

= $8,100

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation:

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
