Question

If a football team has a 90% chance of making a field goal for 3 points and a 35% chance of making a touchdown for 7 points, find the expected value of a touchdown.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

2.7 points (my guess)

Answer 2

Answer: The expected value of touchdown is 2.45.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of making a field goal for 3 points = 90%

Probability of making a touchdown for 7 points = 35%

So, Expected value of a touchdown would be

`\sum xp(x)=7* (35)/(100)=(245)/(100)=2.45`

Hence, the expected value of touchdown is 2.45.
