1)4*3/10 = 1.2

2)(60*0.8)+(70*0.7)+(90*0.9)=178

3) {(0.6+0.56)*20 + (0.6+0.44)*30 + (0.4+0.33)*40 + (0.4+0.67)*30} / 4

=(23.2 + 31.2 + 29.2 + 32.1) / 4

=28.9 

not sure about third problem. let others comment

Answer - 3

1. If both the white balls drawn = 6C2 / 10C2 = 15/45

2. If both the red balls drawn    = 4C2 / 10C2 = 6/45

3. If one white & one red drawn = (6C1*4C1) / 10C2 = 24/45

Expected amount = (15/45*20) + (6/45*40) + (24/45*30) = 28

Note :- here 20 = 10+10 i.e. 2 white balls

                      40 = 20+20 i.e. 2 red balls

                      30 = 10+20 i.e. 1 red & 1white
