The proprietor of midland construction company has to decide between two projects. he estimates that the first project will yield a profit of $170,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a profit of $130,000 with a probability of 0.3; the second project will yield a profit of $230,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a profit of$80,000 with a probability of 0.3.

find the expected profit for each project.

first project = ?
second project = ?

Expected profit for first and second project are $158000 and $185000 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

First project :

a profit of $170,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a profit of $130,000 with a probability of 0.3

0.7      $170000

0.3      $130000

So, Expected profit would be

Second project:

a profit of $230,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a profit of$80,000 with a probability of 0.3.

0.7      $230000

0.3      $80000

So, Expected profit would be

Hence, expected profit for first and second project are $158000 and $185000 respectively.

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
