standard_description: Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y)^(n )in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle. (The Binomial Theorem can be proved by mathematical induction or by a combinatorial argument.)
problem_activity: Task
Bob’s Bagel Shop has estimated the following probabilities for the number of bagels a randomly-selected customer buys when he or she enters the shop.
| No. of Bagels | Probability |
|---------------|-------------|
|       1       |     .5      |
|       2       |     .1      |
|       3       |     .1      |
|       6       |     .1      |
|      12       |     .2      |
Bob sells bagels for \$0.80 each, or \$9.00 for a dozen. If $X =$ the amount of money Bob collects from a randomly-selected customer, find and interpret the expected value of $X$.
