The expected value is 170.If the decision is only made once then the return will be 100 or it will be 200 – it will not be 170.If it is done many times, then sometimes it will be 100 and sometimes it will be 200, but on average it will be 170.AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
