6. You and your friend decide to play a game at a carnival that costs you $1 to play. The game involves flipping two coins and rolling a 6-sided die. If you flip two heads and roll a 3 on the die you win $25. If you flip two heads and roll an even number, you win $10. If you flip two tails with any dice roll, you win $5. a. List all of the possible outcomes for this game (i.e., the sample space). b. Calculate your expected value for this game. Game Outcome Probability c. Is this game profitable over time? How do you know?

To raise money for the local Veterans Affairs hospital, your friend organizes a fundraiser, inviting you to play a two-stage game where you pay $6 to play. The game works as follows: a fair 8-sided die is rolled, noting the number shown, and a spinner divided into 4 equal regions of different colors (blue, red, green, orange) is spun, noting th color. If the die shows 3 or the spinner shows orange, then you win $21. If the die shows an even number and the spinner does not show orange, then you win $7. 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. P(X) Enter a fraction, integer, or exact decimal. Do not approximate (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent. (c) Is this game fair? O Yes O No
