Answer:

C) 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing 2 good ones is 7/10·6/9 = 42/90.

The probability of choosing 1 good one is 7/10·3/9 +3/10·7/9 = 42/90.

The probability of choosing 0 good ones is 3/10·2/9 = 6/90

The expected value is the sum of the product of number of good ones and their probability:

... 2·42/90 +1·42/90 +0·6/90 = (2+1)·42/90 = 42/30 = 1.4
