Justin buys a racehorse for $25,000 and enters it in two races. he plans to sell the horse afterwards, hoping to make a profit. if the horse wins both races, its value will jump to $100,000. if the horse wins one of the races, it will be worth $60,000. if it loses both races, it will be worth only $15,000. justin believes that there is a 25% chance the horse will win the first race and a 35% chance it will win the second race. assume the two races are independent of one another. what is the the expected value?

a) $25,000
b) $201,000
c) $176,000
d) $41,562.50

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
