Consider the following random experiment: we toss a two-sided coin (H on one side and T on the other side) n = 3616 times. In any given toss, the probability the coin comes up H is p = P(H) = 0.3. Each time the coin comes up H we give Tom 2 dollars and each time the coin comes up T we take from Tom 1 dollar (so Tom either gets 2 or gets -1, i.e., loses 1 dollar). How many dollars do we expect Tom will get on "average", i.e., per experiment?
