A service station manager sells gas at an average of ₹ 100 per hour on a rainy day, ₹ 150 per hour on a dubious day, ₹ 250 per hour on a fair day and ₹ 300 on a clear sky. If weather bureau statistics show the probabilities of weather as follows, then his mathematical expectation is

- A 257.5
- B 252.5
- C 250
- D 247.5
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 252.5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Mathematical expectation
\(\begin{aligned}
& =3.00(0.50)+250(0.30)+150(0.15) \\
& =150+75+22.5+5 \\
& =252.5
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& =3.00(0.50)+250(0.30)+150(0.15) \\
& =150+75+22.5+5 \\
& =252.5
\end{aligned}\)
