The expected value is 12.44

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value can be calculated as:

EV = ∑xₙ*pₙ

Where xₙ is the n-th outcome. For the case of the spinner we have 3 possible outcomes:

x₁ = 8

x₂ = 6

x₃ = 24

And pₙ is the probability of the n-th event.

For the case of the spinner, the probability of each section will be equal to the quotient between the degrees of each arc, and the total number of degrees in a circle (360°).

First, we can see that for outcome = 8, the angle is a right angle, then it is equal to 90°, then the probability of this event will be:

p₁ = 90°/360° = 0.25

For outcome = 24, we have an angle of 120°, then the probability for this event is:

p₃ = (120°/360°) = 0.33

And the angle for the third arc must be such that:

90° + 120° + A = 360°

then:

A = 360° - 90° - 120° = 150°

Then the probability for the outcome = 6 is:

p₂ = (150°/360°) = 0.42

Now we can find the expected value as:

EV = (8*0.25 + 6*0.42 + 24*0.33) = 12.44

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas
