Answer: The expected value of touchdown is 2.45.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of making a field goal for 3 points = 90%

Probability of making a touchdown for 7 points = 35%

So, Expected value of a touchdown would be

$\sum xp(x)=7* (35)/(100)=(245)/(100)=2.45$

Hence, the expected value of touchdown is 2.45.
