please type in your hand clearly so I can understand the formula and explanation thank you Consider the following game. A fair coin is flipped until the first tail appears; we win $2 if it appears on the first toss, $4 if it appears on the second toss, and in general if it first occurs on the k-th toss. Let the random variable X denote our winning. How much should we have to pay in order for this to be a fair game? Note: A fair game is one where the difference between the ante and E(X) is 0

Probability of the Union of Two Sets Conceptual Overview: Explore how the probability of the union of two events equals the probability that either event occurs. The two circles shown below represent two events, A and B. The area of each circle represents the probability of the event. With no overlap you can see that the probability of one or the other of the two events (the union of A and B) written as P(A U B) is the sum of their probabilities. The union is often described as an "OR" statement. The union is the probability of A occurring OR B occurring OR both A and B occurring simultaneously (their intersection). Drag one of the circles so that the circles begin to overlap. You will see that the probability of the union decreases because some probability is included in both sets (their intersection). You can also drag the letter for each set to change its size and thus its probability. P(A) = 0.129, P(B) = 0.067, P(A U B) = 0.195 B
37 Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Consider rolling dice and getting a total of 8. Which is more likely: rolling a total of 8 when two dice are rolled or rolling a total of 8 when three dice are rolled? Multiple Choice Rolling a total of 8 when two dice are rolled and rolling a total of 8 when three dice are rolled are equally likely. Rolling a total of 8 when three dice are rolled is not possible. Rolling a total of 8 when three dice are rolled is more likely. Rolling a total of 8 when two dice are rolled i more likely.
