At a back-to-school party, one of your friends lets you play a two-stage game where you pay $3 to play. The game works as follows: flip a fair coin, noting the side showing, and roll a fair standard 4-sided die (numbered 1-4), noting the number showing. If the die shows 3 and the coin shows tails, then you win $21. If the coin shows heads and the die shows an even number you win $12. Otherwise you don't 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. X P(X) b. Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent, c. Is this game fair? ? v

Annie and Bert play the following game. They shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Annie flips the cards one by one until she finds a red ace. After that Bert takes the remaining deck and flips the cards one by one until he finds the other red ace. Annie wins if she flipped fewer cards than bert, bert wins if he flipped fewer cards than Annie. It's a tie if they draw the same number of cards. X1 = number of cards Annie flipped, X2= number of cards Bert flipped. X3= 53- X1 - X2. How can you show that (X1, X2, X3) is exchangeable? Who has a higher probability of winning this game?
