![Lazlo visits one day and offers you a new gamble, this time involving dice. First,
you must pay him $5. He will roll a six-sided die twice. If the sum total of the two
rolls is greater than or equal to 7 he will pay you $20. Would you accept this
gamble? *
yes
no
O This is a required question
Suppose in the dice game that after the first roll Lazlo offers you a "buy-out." If
you want to avoid rolling the second time you can pay $2.50 and you get $2.50
back from your entry fee. Suppose you have just rolled a 3 for your first roll. Do
you "buy-out" and avoid rolling the second time?*
yes
no
wut?
Suppose Lazlo offers you a much higher stakes dice game. The entry fee is $10.
This time he'll roll the dice 3 times. If the sum total is greater than 13 he'll pay you
$50, if its great than 7 hell pay you $11 If its less than 7 you don't receive any
money. Do you accept this gamble? *
