Your new computer costs $2500 but it depreciates in value by about 14% per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer's initial cost is 2500. It decreases by 14% every year. That means the price is multiplied by (100-14)/100=86/100 every year, for x years.

The equation is 2500*(86/100)^3. After three years, it is 2150.

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
