An architect is considering bidding for the design of a new museum. The cost of drawing plans and submitting a model is \(\$ 10,000\). The probability of being awarded the bid is \(0.1\), and anticipated profits are \(\$ 100,000\), resulting in a possible gain of this amount minus the \(\$ 10,000\) cost for plans and a model. What is the expected value in this situation? Describe what this value means.
Make Sense? Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. In a group of five men and five women, the probability of randomly selecting a man is \(\frac{1}{2}\), so if I select two people from the group, the probability that both are men is \(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}\).
Six performers are to present their comedy acts on a weekend evening at a comedy club. How many different ways are there to schedule their appearances?
