For his Carnival project, Chester designed a game where players pick a random marble from a bag. In the bag there are 2 pink marbles, 10 green marbles, and 8 white marbles. If players draw a pink marble they get a large candy bar prize, if they draw a green marble they get a small lollipop prize, and if they draw a white marble they get a fist bump. Chester purchased a set of 16 candy bars for $12 and a bag of 200 lollipops for $20. Answer the following questions: What is Chester's expected cost per game? $ If Chester plans for 40 people to play his game, How many candy bars should he expect to give out? How many lollipops should he expect to give out?
There is a 4-on-4 dodgeball game (8 players total). After the game, everyone shakes hands with everyone else once, including people on their team. 1. How many handshakes were there? 2. If it was a 5-on-5 dodgeball game, how many handshakes might there be? 3. How might you find out if there were 50 people on each team? Or 111? (You do not have to solve. Just explain or show how you would find it.)
This game is called “Get Negative”. Roll two dice (record these in the order you roll them), and then do then do the following: take the first number rolled and subtract 2 times the second number rolled. Regardless of who rolls, Player A gets 3 points if the product is greater than or equal to 0 (i.e. it is zero or positive); Otherwise Player B gets 1 points. The players may or may not take turns rolling the dice as it does not matter who is rolling. Any player may score on any roll, and every roll will result in a score. Play the game by rolling the dice 25 times. For each turn, keep a record of both dice and the resulting answer and the points scored, according to the rules above. Tally the points and calculate the final score for each player. Remember, someone gets a point for each turn, depending on the numbers rolled. (One does not have to be rolling to receive the points.) (Note: you may test the game by yourself by doing all of the 25 rolls yourself and just giving the…
You need to borrow money for gas, so you ask your mother and your sister. You can only borrow money from one of them. Before giving you money, they each say they will make you play a game. Your sister says she wants you to flip a fair coin. She will give you $⁢9 for heads and $⁢21 for tails. Your mother says she wants you to roll a six-sided die. She will give you $⁢5 times the number that appears on the die. Determine the expected value of each game and decide which offer you should take.

You and two friends decide to go to a casino and play Blackjack. You find an empty table and sit down. The dealer shuffles and deals from a new 52 card deck. In order to win, you and your friends know that you need to either score a 21 (blackjack and automatic win) or get a higher total than the dealer. You know that a deck of cards has 13 different cards (2-10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace), and that there are 4 copies of each in the deck. You know that an ace is equal to either 1 or 11 and that Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 10. The dealer deals out the following cards: You: Jack and Ace Friend 1: King and 10 Friend 2: 10 and 10 Dealer: 10 and ? The dealer is about to deal their last card. What are the following probabilities: A) What is the probability that the next card can beat your hand? B) What is the probability that the next card can tie your hand? C) What is the probability that the next card can beat your friends?
Green Red Orange Purple Yellow 3. Caitlyn and Tabitha want to fairly decide who will take the family dog on a walk, so they roll a fair six-sided die and spin the spinner above. Caitlyn will walk the dog if the die roll is a 1, 2, or 3 and the spinner lands on orange or green. Tabitha will walk the dog if the die roll is a 4 or 6 and the spinner lands on red, yellow, or purple. They will continue the experiment until one of the events occurs.

To raise money for the local Veterans Affairs hospital, your friend organizes a fundraiser, inviting you to play a two-stage game where you pay $8 to play. The game works as follows: a fair 8-sided die is rolled, noting the number shown, and a spinner divided into 4 equal regions of different colors (blue, red, green, orange) is spun, noting the color. If the die shows 3 or the spinner shows orange, then you win $21. If the die shows an even number and the spinner does not show orange, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not 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. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ (c) Is this game fair? Yes No
In American roulette, the wheel contains the numbers 11 through 3636, alternating between black and red. There are two green spaces numbered 00 and 0000. A player places a bet of $0.50$⁢0.50 on red to play the game. If the ball lands on red, the player gets a $0.50$⁢0.50 for winning and receives the money back. If the ball does not land on red, then the player simply loses the $0.50$⁢0.50 placed on the bet. If the player places the same bet on red 99 times, what is the player’s expected winnings? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Sonic’s Drive-In Burgers had a Classic Car Cruise one night. They played oldies music, the servers wore roller skates, and there were 152 classic cars on display. Josie, the restaurant owner, played a game with the car owners. First everyone was told to turn their headlights on. Then Josie counted every other car (the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and so on), and told them to turn their headlights off. After that Josie counted every 3rd car (3rd, 6th, 9th, and so on). Those car owners were told to turn their headlights on If they were off, and turn their headlights off if they were on. She continued in this way, counting by every number (by 4’s, then by 5’s, then by 6’s, etc.) until she had finished counting by 152’s (which didn’t take long, since that’s how many cars there were.) As she counted, every car she pointed to reversed their lights from off to on or vice versa. When she was done, which cars still had their lights on?
