Bethany is on a game show. She has chosen a single case which contains one of 4 possible amounts of money. The amounts her case might contain are $.01, $100, $200,000, or $500,000. Each amount is equally likely. Complete the table and use to answer the following questions. Case value = X .01 100 200,000 500,000 p(X) Xp(X) Find the expected amount of money in Bethany’s case (expected value). If Bethany were offered $180,000 for her case, would this be a good offer compared to the expected value? Suppose the $200,000 case has now been eliminated. Bethany’s case is now equally likely to contain either $.01, $100, or $500,000. What is the expected value of her case now?
