XYZ company has designed a new lottery scratch-off game. The player is instructed to scratch off one spot: A, B, or C. A can reveal "loser," "win $1," or "win $50." B can reveal "loser" or "take a second chance." C can reveal "loser," or "win $500." On the second chance, the player is instructed to scratch off D or E. D can reveal "loser" or "win $1." E can reveal "loser" or "win $10." The probabilities at A are 0.9, 0.09, and 0.01 respectively. The probabilities at B are 0.8 and 0.2. The probabilities at Care 0.999 and 0.001. The probabilities at D are 0.95 and 0.05. The probabilities at E are 0.5 and 0.5. Calculate the expected value of the game and provide recommendations to a decision-maker

Y Ou are piaying a game involving a fair 6-sided die and a fair coin. First the die is rolled. If the number on the die is evenly divisible by 3 (i.e., either 3 or 6), then the coin is flipped twice, but if the number on the die is not evenly divisible by 3 (i.e., either 1, 2, 4 or 5), then the coin is flipped only once. You win $1 every time head appears on the coin and you win nothing every time a tail appears. а.) b.) did win some money. On one play of the game, determine the probability that you win some money.

Consider an experiment designed to test whether cash incentives improve school attendance. The researcher chooses two groups of 100 high school students. She offers one group $10 for every week of perfect attendance. She tells the other group that they are part of an experiment but does not give them any incentive. Group of answer choices The experiment is single-blind because the researcher only paid one group of students. The experiment is double-blind because no one knows which group the students are in. It cannot be determined from the information given. The experiment is not blind because the researcher and students know which groups the students are in.
Which is the correct answer?
