A friend proposes a gamble to you. You roll 2 fair, six-sided dice, and add up the results of each die to find your total number. If your roll totals a 6 or 8, your friend pays you $30. If you roll any other total, you pay your friend $10.
What is your expected payoff from playing this game 100 times?.
A new game is being introduced at the Hard Rock Cafe. A ball is spun around a wheel until it comes to rest in one of many spots. Whatever is listed in that spot will be the player's winnings. If the wheel has 7 spots labeled $1, 9 spots labeled $2, and 6 spots labeled $10, how much should a player expect to win on average?
Round to the nearest cent.
Suppose that you and a friend are playing cards and decide to make a bet. If your friend draws two spades in succession from a standard deck of 52 cards replacing the first card, you give him $50. Otherwise, he pays you $10. If the same bet was made 30 times, how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

- Suppose you are playing a simple game that costs you $5 per play, where you draw one cardfrom a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.• If the card is a spade, you receive $20. (You don’t get the $5 back.)• If it is not, then you do not receive any money. (You don’t get the $5 back.)Let X = the amount of money you have before playing a round of this “game”.Let Y = the amount of money you have after playing a round of this “game”.(a) Compute the conditional expectation of Y given X = $100.(b) You can also use the following variant of the Law of Total Expectation tocompute a conditional expectation:E(Z | X = x) = Summation(E(Z | Ai ∩ X = x)P (Ai | X = x)For this part, let Z = the amount of money you have after playing TWO rounds ofthis “game”. Use the above formula to calculate the conditional expectation of Z givenX = $100. (Note: the cards are well-shuffled again between rounds.)(c) Now suppose you get only $16 for drawing a spade.

- You have 80 dollars and play the following game. An urn contains two white balls and two black balls. You draw the balls out one at a time without replacement until all the balls are gone. On each draw, you bet half of your present fortune that you will draw a white ball. If you do, you win an amount equal to your bet. If you do not, you lose your bet. What is your expected final fortune? Gerolamo Cardano in his book, The Gambling Scholar, written in the early 1500s, considers the following carnival game. There are six dice. Each of the dice has five blank sides. The sixth side has a number between 1 and 6--a different number on each die. The six dice are rolled and the player wins a prize depending on the total of the numbers which turn up. Find, as Cardano did, the expected total without finding its distribution.arrow_forwardHadey is running a game of chance to raise money for a trip to Jamaica to visit his grandparents. A player pays $5 and then rolls a six-sided die. The faces of the die are different colors, one red, one blue, one yellow, one green, one purple and one orange. If the die comes up green, Hadey pays the player $20. Old Billie plays the game 120 times and loses $300. She doesn't trust Hadey and asks Letecia to test the die that Hadey is using for bias. Letecia rolls the die 600 times with the following results. yellow Red blue green 73 purple Orange 99 107 104 108 109 Perform the appropriate hypothesis test at the 0.05 significance level to determine if the die is balanced.arrow_forwardA pair of fair dice is rolled once.
