Ответ:
P(increase)=0.4
The probability that the antique painting's value will decrease $5.000 is:
P(decrease)=0.6
P(decrease)>P(increase) The probability is bigger the value of the painting to be decreased. But the amount is lower than the amount if the value increases.
We should calculate the expected value in order to decide if it is recommended to invest in the painting. Expected value is the return you can expect for buying the painting.
EV=(-10.000)*0.4+5000*0.6=-4000+3000=-1000
So, the correct answer is B.No I would not recommend investing in the painting, because the expected value of the painting's worth is a decrease of $1000.

The cover has diameter of:
20 feet + 2*12 inches = 20 feet + 2 feet = 22 feeta.
Area of the pool cover:
A = πd²/4 = 3.14*22²/4 = 379.94 ft²b.
The length of the rope:
C = πd = 3.14*22 = 69.08 ft
