Land Development
A developer can buy a piece of property that will produce a profit of $16,000 with probability .7, or a loss of $9000 with probability .3.
What is the expected profit?
-----
Random Variable profit values: 16000 , -9000
Corresponding Probabilities::: 0.7 , 0.3
--------------------------------------------------
E(x) = 0.7*16000 - 0.3*9000 = $8500
