The probability distribution for damage claims paid by the Newton Automobile Insurance Company on collision insurance is shown as follows: there is a 62% chance there won't be a claim ($0), a 11% chance of a $1000 claim, a 8% chance of a $2700 claim, and otherwise, the claim will be $9000. What is the expected value of an insurance claim for this company? (please express your answer using 2 decimal places).

A company that manufactures and sells T-shirts for sporting events, is providing shirts for an upcoming tournament. Each shirt will cost $7 to produce and will be sold for $13. Any unsold shirts at the end of the tournament can be sold for $5 apiece in the near future. The company assumes the demand for the shirts will be 1,500,3,000,4,500, or 6,000. The company also estimates that the probabilities of each of these sales levels occurring will be 20%, 25%,25%, and 30%, respectively. Determine the expected monetary value of the project if the company chooses to print 4,500 shirts for the tournament. The expected monetary value is---- (Type a whole number.)
An investor considers investing $17,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.22 that the economy will improve, 0.42 that it will stay the same, and 0.36 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $23,000, but it can also go down to $11,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $17,000. What is the expected value of his investment?
