C) $62
D) $60

Answer 1

I think its A but I'm not 100% sure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of three jacket styles are $42, $60 and $84.

The probability of choosing $42 value jacket is 1/6.

This means that expected value will be, $42*(1/6) =7$

And the value of $60 will be $60*(1/4) =15$

Similarly, the expected value of $84 will be $84*(7/12) =49$

And combined expected value will be the sum of these three.

$7+15+49= 71$ dollars (expected value of jacket)

So, the answer is option A.
