Bob has determined that the probability that he receives a 10% raise is 0.7, the probability that he earns a 3% raise is 0.2, and the probability that he earns a 2% raise is 0.1. A competing company has offered Bob a similar position for $65,000 a year. Bob wonders if he should take the new job or take his chances with his current job. SHOW ALL WORK!
