Explain that probability can be used to help determine if good decisions aremade. Use probabilities to analyzedecisions and strategies.

Objectives



expected value

Vocabulary



In experiments with numerical outcomes, the expected value (EV) is the weighted average of the numerical outcomes of a probability experiment.


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsExample 1: Finding Expected Value

The sides of a six-sided number cube are labeled 1, 1, 3, 3, 9, and 9.

8-8 Analyzing DecisionsExample 2 : Using Expected Value in Real-World Situations

EV(south) = 0.8(2) + 0.2(4) = 2.4 EV(east) = 0.6(2.5) + 0.4(3) = 2.7 He should take the southern route.

On a mountain, it takes Sam 2 hours to climb the southern route, unless there is ice, which increases the time to 4 hours. It takes him 2.5 hours to climb the eastern route, unless there is ice, which increases the time to 3 hours. If the chance of ice is 20% on the southern route and 40% on the eastern route, which route should Sam take if he wants to finish the climb as soon as possible?


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsCheck It Out! Example 2

Jack can take one of three routes to work each day. Route A takes 16 minutes, Route B takes 10 minutes, and Route C takes 20 minutes. There is a 40% chance he will encounter an accident in Route A, which increases travel time to 25 minutes. There is also a 20% chance he will encounter a traffic jam if he takes Route B, which increases his travel time to 40 minutes. He has a 10% chance of experiencing a delay in Route C, which increases his travel time to 32 minutes. Which route should Jack take to work each day?


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsCheck It Out! Example 2 continued

Route A: 0.60(16) + 0.40(25) = 9.6 + 10 = 19.6 minutes; Route B: 0.20(40) + 0.80(10) = 8 + 8 = 16 minutes; Route C: 0.90(20) + 0.1(32) = 21.2 minutes.

He should take Route B.


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsExample 3: The Monty Hall Problem

In a TV game show, a car key is hidden in one of five bags. The other bags contain fake keys. Once the contestant picks a bag, the host, knowing where the key is located, opens a bag with a fake key. As the contestant answers questions correctly, he continues to open bags with fake keys until two bags remain: one with the car key and one with a fake key. At this time, he offers the contestant a chance to switch bags. Find the expected value of sticking with the original bag and the expected value of switching bags.

EV(sticking) = 15

EV(switching) = 45


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsCheck It Out! Example 3

Mikayla is applying to 3 colleges. She makes estimates of her chances of being accepted, and estimates of her chances of receiving financial aid from each, presented below:



Check It Out! Example 3 Continued

College A: 0.75 · 0.30 = 0.225 College B: 0.65 · 0.40 = 0.260College C: 0.70 · 0.45 = 0.315

She has a higher probability of being accepted in College C with a financial aid.

At which college is she most likely to be both accepted and receive financial aid?


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsLesson Quiz: Part I

Find the expected value for number cubes with the given sides.

1. 3, 5, 5, 5, 10, 20 8

2. 1, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6 4.5

3. A secretary can use either the copier in her office or the copier in the hall to make copies of a monthly newsletter. It takes 75 minutes on the copier in her office, unless there is a jam, in which case it takes 110 minutes. It takes 60 minutes on the hall copier, unless it jams, in which case it takes 90 minutes.


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsLesson Quiz: Part II

EV(office) = 0.85(75) + 0.15(110) = 80.25 EV(hall) = 0.6(60) + 0.4(90) = 72; she should use the hall copier.

The chance of a jam is 15% for the copier in her office and 40% for the copier in the hall. Which copier should she use?

4. Benjamin applied for three jobs. He has a 40% chance of being hired at the sandwich shop, a 15% chance of being hired as a mechanic, and a 60% chance of being hired as a driver.


8-8 Analyzing DecisionsLesson Quiz: Part III

sandwich shop: 0.4(0.25) = 0.1; mechanic: 0.15(0.8) = 0.12; driver: 0.6(0.3) = 0.18; He is most likely to get both as a driver.

Also, his chances of being hired as a full-time employee are 25% at the sandwich shop, 80% as a mechanic, and 30% as a driver. Which job is he most likely to be hired and be a full-time employee?
