Question
Please answer correctly. Write by hand please and make sure you write the formula you use. Attached is the formula sheet use this please.
You pay 5 dollars to play a game. In the game, you roll a die. If the number that comes up is even,
you are paid back that amount in dollars. If the number is odd, you are paid back twice that amount
in dollars.
(a) Compute the probability that you don't lose any money in the game.
(b) Compute the expected net earnings.

Axioms of Probability
Also Note:
1. P(S)=1
For any two events A and B,
2. For any event E, 0< P(E) < 1
P(A) = P(An B) + P(AnB')
3. For any two mutually exclusive events,
and
P(EUF) = P(E) + P(F)
P(AnB) = P(A|B)P(B).
Events A and B are independent if:
Addition Rule
P(EUF) = P(E) + P(F) – P(ENF)
P(A|B) - P(A)
or
Conditional Probability
P(AN B) = P(A)P(B).
P(B|A) =
P(ANB)
P(A)
Bayes' Theorem:
Total Probability Rule
P(AB)P(B)
P(A|B)P(B) + P(A|B')P(B")
P(A) = P(A|B)P(B) + P(A|B')P(B')
P(B|A) =
Similarly.
Similarly,
