A lawyer believes that the probability is .3 that she can win a discrimination suit. If she wins the case, she will make $400,000; but if she loses, she gets nothing. Assume that she has to spend $75,000 preparing the case. What is her expected gain

her expected gain is $45,000.

Explanation:

If she wins

She will make = $400,000

Probability of winning = 0.3

Expected income = $400,000 x 0.3 = $120,000

Cost on the cash = $75,000

Expected gain = Expected income - Cost  = $120,000 - $75,000 = $45,000

If she loses the case she has to bear the cost incurred to prepare the case. So, the probability on the cost side is 1 but probability on the income side is 0.3 so we calculated the 0.3 probable income which is $120,000 after deducting the cost the lawyer will have expected gain of $45,000 only.

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.
