Total balls in the bag= 4 Blue + 3 Red+ 2 Green+1 Orange =10
B R G O
Probability Prize NET Profit (Prize - cost)
P(B)= 4/10 =0.4 5 0
P(R)= 3/10=0.3 10 5
P(G)= 2/10=0.2 20 15
P(O)= 1/10=0.1 100 95
STEPS TO FIND EXPECTED VALUE
1) Multiply each net profit by its own probability
BLUE 0.4x$0= $ 0
RED 0.3x$5= $ 1.50
GREEN 0.2x$15= $ 3.00
ORANGE 0.1x$95= $ 9.50
2) ADD ALL VALUES TOGETHER TO FIND THE EXPECTED value
0+1.50+3.00+9.50= $ 14.00
