Question

Suppose that you and a friend are playing cards and you decide to make a friendly wager. The bet is that you will draw two cards without replacement from a standard deck. If both cards are clubs, your friend will pay you $403. Otherwise, you have to pay your friend $24

What is the expected value of your bet? Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.

Expert Solution
Step 1

There are 52 cards in standard deck.

Out of 52 cards 13 are club cards.  

Two cards are drawn without replacement.  

You win $403 if both cards are clubs. Otherwise, you loss $24

P( win ) = P( both cards are club ) = (13/52)*(12/51)  = 0.058824

P( loss ) = 1 - 0.058824 = 0.941176
