Question 587079
Suppose you have a taxing policy where 60% of the population pays $10,000 per year in taxes per person, and the other 40% pays $100 per year in taxes per person.
What is the expected value for the amount of yearly taxes paid by one person in this population?
----
E(x) = 0.60*10000 + 0.40*100 = 6000 + 40 = $6040
