A venture capitalist, willing to invest $1,000,000, has three investments to choose from. The first
investment, a software company, has a 14% chance of returning $8,000,000 profit, a 42% chance of
returning $1,000,000 profit, and a 44% chance of losing the million dollars. The second company, a
hardware company, has a 8% chance of returning $11,000,000 profit, a 44% chance of returning $3,000,000
profit, and a 48% chance of losing the million dollars. The third company, a biotech firm, has a 8% chance
of returning $6,000,000 profit, a 29% of no profit or loss, and a 63% chance of losing the million dollars.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

Probability distribution table

X P(X)
5 0.3
16  
24 0.2
34 0.3
Step 2

We know that sum of probability is equal to 1

P(x=5) +P(x=16) +P(x=24) +P(x=34) = 1

let P(x=16) = x

0.3 +x+0.2+0.3 = 1

x + 0.8 = 1

x = 0.2

Therefore, P(X = 16) = 0.2
