14.1-3. Consider the following parlor game to be played between two players. Each player begins with three chips: one red, one white, and one blue. Each chip can be used only once. To begin, each player selects one of her chips and places it on the table, concealed. Both players then uncover the chips and determine the payoff to the winning player. In particular, if both players play the same kind of chip, it is a draw; otherwise, the fol- lowing table indicates the winner and how much she receives from the other player. Next, each player selects one of her two remain- ing chips and repeats the procedure, resulting in another payoff ac- cording to the following table. Finally, each player plays her one remaining chip, resulting in the third and final payoff. Winning Chip Payoff ($) Red beats white 90 White beats blue 70 Blue beats red 50 Matching colors

XYZ company has designed a new lottery scratch-off game. The player is instructed to scratch off one spot: A, B, or C. A can reveal "loser," "win $1," or "win $50." B can reveal "loser" or "take a second chance." C can reveal "loser," or "win $500." On the second chance, the player is instructed to scratch off D or E. D can reveal "loser" or "win $1." E can reveal "loser" or "win $10." The probabilities at A are 0.9, 0.09, and 0.01 respectively. The probabilities at B are 0.8 and 0.2. The probabilities at Care 0.999 and 0.001. The probabilities at D are 0.95 and 0.05. The probabilities at E are 0.5 and 0.5. Calculate the expected value of the game and provide recommendations to a decision-maker
the carnival has come to town, and lucky louie has once again set up his pavilion. He offers a simple game consisting of rolling two normal six-sided dice at the same time for the extraordinarily low price of $3.00 per play. If the player rolls a sum of 3, the player wins $13.00; if the sum is a 9, the player wins $9.00; and if the sum is a 12, the player wins $12.00. Otherwise, the player does not win anything. How much should you expect to win or lose per game (after paying the $3.00) ?

If I $6 to play a spinner game and the chances of winning $1 dollar is 50% and the chances of winning $12 is 50%. What is the fair price of the game?
James placed a $25 bet on a red and a $5 bet on the number 33 (which is black) on a standard 00 roulette wheel. -if the ball lands in a red space, he wins $25 on his 'red' but loses $5 on his '33' bet - so he wins $20 -if the ball lands the number 33, he loses $25 on his 'red' bet but wins $175 on his '33' bet: He wins $150 -if the ball lands on a spae that isn't red and isnt 33 he loses both bets, so he loses $30 So for each spin; he either wins $150, wins $20, or loses $30 -probability that he wins $150 is 1/38 or .0263 -probability that he wins $20 is 18/38 or .4737 -probability that he loses $30 is 19/38 or .5000 let X = the profit that james makes on the next spin x P (X=x) x*P(X=x) x^2*P(X=x) 150 .0263 3.945 591.75 20 .4737 9.474 189.48 -30 .5000 -15.000 450.00 sum (sigma) 1.000 -1.581 1231.23 u (expected value)= -$1.581 variance = 1228.73044 standard deviation = 35.053 FILL IN THE BLANK if you play 2500 times, and Let, x (x bar)= the mean winnings (or…
5. Divide and conquer. You're again facing your friend, Brenda, in a "candy-off” game involving a pile of 100 caramels and the winner's prize: one peppermint patty. (Like before, you still LOVE peppermint patties!). On their turn, each player can remove a
At a back-to-school party, one of your friends lets you play a two-stage game where you pay $3 to play. The game works as follows: flip a fair coin, noting the side showing, and roll a fair standard 4-sided die (numbered 1–4), noting the number showing. If the die shows a 3 and the coin shows tails, then you win $22. If the coin shows heads and the die shows an even number, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
One option in a roulette game is to bet $7 on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments, and two compartments that are neither red nor black.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $7 you paid to play the game and you are awarded $7. If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing and the $7 that you bet is collected. Complete parts (a) through (b) below. III a. What is the expected value for playing roulette if you bet $7 on red? $ (Round to the nearest cent.) b. What does this expected value mean? Choose the correct statement below. O A. This value represents the expected loss over the long run for each game played. OB. Over the long run, the player can exper to break even. OC. This value represents the expected win over the long run for each game played.
