A person must pay $$8 to play a certain game at the casino. Each player has a probability of 0.23 of winning $$13, for a net gain of $$5 (the net gain is the amount won 13 minus the cost of playing 8). Each player has a probability of 0.77 of losing the game, for a net loss of $$8 (the net loss is simply the cost of playing since nothing else is lost). What is the Expected Value for the player (that is, the mean of the probabiltiy distribution)?
