Your company bids on two contracts. You believe the probability that you get the first contract is 0.75 and if you get the first contract the probability that you also get the second one is 0.4. If you do not get the first contract the probability that you get the second one is 0.45. If you get both contracts the profit will be $75,000 for the company, if you get only one the profit will be $15,000. It costs the company $10,000 per contract to make a bid. What is the expected profit for the company? A) -$20,000
B) $8,187.50
C) $33,687.50
D) $28,187.50

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
