A customer pays $4 to play a game in which a single card is drawn from a standard deck. He wins $5 if a face card is drawn, wins $8 if an ace is drawn, and $2 if a numbered card is drawn. Set up a probability distribution table and compute the expected value of the game (from the customer's perspective).

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, non-fatal anemia called sickle cell trait. Using S to represent the sickle cell gene, and s a healthy gene, the table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who has sickle cell anemia. Second Parent First Parent Ss sS P(child has sickle cell anemia) =| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
One option in a roulette game is to bet $13 on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments, and 2 compartments that are neither red nor black.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $13 you paid to play the game, and you are awarded $15. If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing, and the $13 that you bet is collected. Write down the probability distribution for the earnings from this type of bet and find the expected value. Give the probability distribution. Earnings Probability ▼ negative $ 13−$13 negative $ 15−$15 negative $ 28−$28 nothing ▼ $ 15$15 $ 28$28 $ 13$13 nothing (Type an exact answer in simplified form.)
