A red die and a blue die are rolled. You win or lose money depending on the sum of the values of the two dice.If the sum is 6, 7, or 10, you win $4. If the sum is 3, 8, or 11, you win $1. If the sum is any other value (2, 4, 5, 9, or 12), you lose $3. Let X be a random variable that corresponds to your net winnings in dollars. What is the expected value of X?
