Question: Suppose the following probability distribution describes the possible number of barrels of oil (in millions) that might be found when drilling for oil.
Barrels | P(Gallons) |
0 | .1 |
15 | .5 |
30 | .2 |
50 | .2 |
a) What is the probability that at least 30 million barrels of oil will be found?
b) If oil is selling for $30 per barrel, what is the expected revenue from drilling an oil well?
c) Suppose it costs $5 million to drill the well and then (if oil is actually pumped to the surface) it costs the company $8 per barrel to extract the oil from the ground, what is the companies expected profit from drilling an oil well?
