The probability that the New York Yankees will win their baseball game tomorrow is objectively determined to be 0.4. If they win, then tomorrow I will flip a coin to determine a monetary payout that you will receive: if the flip is Heads, you win $0, while if it is Tails, you win $20. If the Yankees do not win, then I will roll a 6-sided die (assume each side is equally likely to be rolled). If the die roll is an even number, you will win $40. If it is an odd number other than 1 (i.e., a 3 or a 5), then you will win $20, and if it is a 1, you will win $0." Fill in the blanks below for the reduced lottery that corresponds to this compound lottery (write in decimals). R = ( , $0; , $20; , $40)

Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons use many different types of dice. Suppose that a four-sided die has faces marked 1, 2, 3, and 4. The intelligence of a character is determined by rolling this die twice and adding 1 to the sum of the spots. The faces are equally likely, and the two rolls are independent. What is the average (mean) intelligence for such characters?

In a popular casino game, you can bet one whether a ball will fall in an arc on a wheel colored red, black, or green. Say the probability of a red outcome is StartFraction 18 Over 37 EndFraction1837, that of a black outcome is StartFraction 18 Over 37 EndFraction1837, and that of a green outcome is StartFraction 1 Over 37 EndFraction137. Suppose someone makes a $22 bet on blackblack. Find the expected net winnings for this single bet. Interpret the result. Choose the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) A. If the $22 bet on blackblack was placed a very large number of times, the average winnings would be ____________ dollars per bet. B.

Emma and Eddie both want to choose their family's dinner entrée. Emma prefers burgers, and Eddie would like to order pizza. To determine who gets to pick, their dad suggests rolling a pair of fair dice. If the sum of the dice is 4 or 10, then Emma will pick dinner. If the sum is 2, 3, 11, or 12, then Eddie will pick dinner. They will roll the dice again if any other number is rolled. Is this a fair way to decide? Explain.(Hint: There are 21 total possibilities when rolling a pair of dice.) a No, it is not fair because there is a higher probability of rolling 2, 3, 11, or 12, so Eddie will most likely choose dinner. b Yes, it is fair because both Emma and Eddie have an equal probability of choosing dinner. c No, it is not fair because there is a higher probability of rolling 4 or 10, so Emma will most likely choose dinner. d No, it is not fair because there is a greater probability that they will roll a number other than 4, 10, 2, 3, 11, or 12.
