Respuesta :

Answer:

36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 0.15[/tex] -- probability of coming late to work

[tex]n = 240[/tex] -- number of days

Required

Determine the expected number of days of coming late (E(x))

This is calculated using:

[tex]E(x) = np[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 240 * 0.15[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 36[/tex]

The expected number of days is 36
