  1. 1.2 Assuming that the painting is not insured against fire, its expected value is ( 0.2×$1,000 ) + ( 0.1×$0 )+( 0.7×$500 )=$550. [&(0.2|multi|\$1,000) |plus|&][&(0.1|multi|\$0)|+|(0.7|multi|\$500)|=|\$550.&]

  2. 1.4 The expected value of the stock is ( 0.25×400 ) + ( 0.75×200 )=250. [&(0.25|multi|400) |plus|&][&(0.75|multi|200)|=|250.&] The variance is 0.25 ( 400250 ) 2 + 0.75 ( 200250 ) 2 =0.25 ( 150 ) 2 +0.75 ( 50 ) 2 =5,625 + 1,875=7,500.
