𝜇𝐻 =2 𝜎𝐻2 =1
𝜎𝐻 =1

Thus, the expected value is 2 with a standard error of 1. This says that the mass points are 1 unit
away from the mean.

𝜇𝑃 12.25 𝜎 86.90
𝜎𝑃 9.32
Thus, the expected product is 12.25 with a standard error of 9.32. This implies
that the products are 9.32 units away from 12.25

Thus, the expected value is 1 and the standard deviation is approximately 0.6. This
shows that the mass points are 0.6 units away from the expected value.

Part B
Directions: Accomplish the following word problem completely. Each item is worth 10 points.
1. Seven hundred raffle tickets are sold at P10 each for a chance to win P6000. What is your expected winnings
when you are to buy 6 tickets?

Let x be the amount of money won (+) or lost (-)


Let P(x) be the probability of winning or losing that amount

x -₱60 ₱5940

699 1
P(x) 700 700

694 6
E(x)= -₱60 ( 700 ) + ₱5940 ( 700 )
E(x)= -59.49+50.91
E(x)= -₱8.58
Thus, if I were to buy 6 out of 700 raffle tickets I will lose ₱8.58 instead of winning
₱5940.
