    Willing to pay $3,800 for a used car.

    Explanation:

    Low Quality Used Car = $1000

    Probability of getting low quality used car = 60%

    High Quality Used Car = $8,000

    Probability of getting high quality used car = 40%

    Since both the low quality and high quality are used cars, we can calculate how much to pay for used car by taking weighted average of high quality and low quality used cars, and, assign weights as the probability of getting each car:

    ⇒ (1,000 * 60%) + (8,000 * 40%)

    ⇒ 600 + 3,200

    ⇒ $3,800
