Risk and Uncertainty

Yyunus9y ago
The probability of an organisation making a profit of $180,000 next month is half the probability of it making a profit of $75,000. What is the expected profit for next month? Please help me with a step by step solution to this question.

Why are you attempting questions for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit published by one of the ACCA approved publishers - they have answers and workings to the questions!! If the probability of one outcome is half that of the other, then out of every 3 occasions then 1 will be one outcome and 2 will be the other. So the probabilities are 1/3 and 2/3 So the expected profit is (1/3 x 180,000) + (2/3 x 75,000)
