Answer:

A) 0.54

B) 4.32

C) 2.4

D)  336

Step-by-step explanation:

A)Expected value (you) = (84 × 3) × [tex]\frac{1}{140}[/tex] × (0.3)× [tex]\frac{139}{140}[/tex]

                                       = 0.54

B) Expected value (you) 8 tickets = 0.54 × 8

                                                       = 4.32

C) Expected value ( for PTO) = ( 3 - 84) × [tex]\frac{1}{140}[/tex] + ( 3 - 0 ) × [tex]\frac{139}{140}[/tex]

                                                = 2.4

D) For 140 raffle tickets = 2.4 × 140

                                       = 336
