Respuesta :

Answer:

The expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Read attachment to understand the complete question

From the question, we have the following given parameters:

x = Amount paid for a second movie

[tex]E(x) = 0.47[/tex] --- Expected value of x

[tex]SD(x) = 0.15[/tex] --- Standard deviation of x

Required

Determine the total amount paid for a second movie for 20 weeks

The required implies that we calculate the expected value for a duration of 20 weeks.

i.e.

[tex]n = 20[/tex]

If

[tex]E(x) = 0.47[/tex]

Then:

[tex]E(nx) = n * E(x)[/tex]

Substitute 20 for n

[tex]E(20x) = 20 * E(x)[/tex]

Substitute 0.47 for E(x)

[tex]E(20x) = 20 * 0.47[/tex]

[tex]E(20x) = 9.4[/tex]

Hence, the expected amount for a duration of 20 weeks is $9.4
