Game of chance: A player rolls a fair six-sided die. If outcome of a roll is an odd number, the player wins as many dollars as there are dots on the top face . Otherwise, the player looses 4 dollars. Let the random variable X be profit (amount won or lost) per game. Make a probability distribution table for the random variable: amount won or lost. Find the Expected value of the experiment Use Law of Large numbers to interpret the meaning of the Expected value If a person plays 100 times, how much he expects to win/loose?
