MHB How Do You Calculate Average Revenue Per Group?

Click For Summary
To calculate average revenue per group, the probabilities and prices of each item ordered must be multiplied and summed. For Group A, the average revenue is calculated as (5*0.5) + (6*0.4) + (7*0.1), resulting in 5.6. For Group B, the calculation is (5*0.3) + (6*0.3) + (7*0.1), which needs to be completed for the final average revenue. The discussion highlights the importance of accurately applying probability to revenue calculations. Understanding these calculations is crucial for determining average revenue effectively.

Hi, I'm currently stuck on a homework question and I was hoping if I could get some help.

Group A has 50% chance of ordering french fries (price: 5),40%chanceoforderingmilkshake(price:6), and 10% chance of ordering a burger (price: 7).GroupBhas30%chanceoforderingfrenchfries(price:5), 30% of chance of ordering a milkshake (price: 6),and10%chanceoforderingaburger(price:7) .

What is the average revenue per group?

Not sure if my work is correct: Avg revenue for Group A: (5∗50%)+(6 * 40%) + (7∗10%)=5.6.
Avg revenue for Group B: (5∗30%)+(6 * 30%) + ($7 *10%)

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
