Nope, A... I'm so confused with how to do financial expectation properly, swear it's different for every question :(

I remember that question^. The financial expectation is something like (240x1/96) + (120x1/95) + (60x2/93)

And therefore the financial gain is expected to be the financial expectation -$6 which gives -$0.75

I can't remember for the life of me the probability they used to get the answer though, the ones I used just then seem correct to me and it gives the wrong answer so idk. I do remember the question though and you can get A.

Anyone wanna refresh me on stratified etc. samples? Lost my notes and I don't wanna have to drive over and get them. ._.

the answer is 22a/3 but i have no idea how to get that...

I put 11ay over 1 as a fraction then you can cross out both the Ys then just multiply both top and bottom

make 11ay a fraction

so

2/3y * 11ay/1

= 22ay/3y

= 22a/3
