Answer:
The appropriate response is "$430".
Explanation:
According to the question, the solution will be:
⇒ [tex]E(x)=\Sigma xP(x)[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]=0\times 0.85+500\times 0.04+1000\times 0.04+3000\times 0.03+5000\times 0.02+8000\times 0.01+10000\times 0.01[/tex]
= [tex]430[/tex] ($)
Thus, the above is the correct answer.
