In a gambling game there is a 15% chance that you will lose 10 dollars, 25% chance that you will break even, adn a 60% chance that you will win 2 dollars. b. What can you do to this game, without changing the percentages to make it a breakeven game? That is, the expected value should be zero (0). Show that the expected value is zero.

Joon wants to determine whether his San Jose oil field will yield oil. He has hired a geologist to run tests on the field. If there is oil in the field, there is a 95% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the field contains no oil, there is a 5% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the test indicates that there is no oil in the field, what is the probability that the field contains oil? Before the test, Joon believes that there is a 10% chance that the field will yield oil.
