QUESTION 10. A casino offers a game that it calls "five in a row". The rules of the game are simple: Pick a color, either red or black. Take a well-shuffled ordinary deck of 52 cards and pick 5 cards anywhere in the deck. If you pick 5 in a row of the color you chose, you win. Otherwise, you lose. You have to pay $10 for the chance to play this game, and you get $360 if you win. A standard deck has 26 red cards and 26 black cards. Calculate the expected value of playing this game in the casino. In other words, for each $10 that you spend in order to play this game, how much money should you expect to win back?

In the casino game of American roulette, the wheel is divided into 38 compartments numbered 1 through 36, 0, and 00. One-half of the numbers 1 through 36 are red, the other half black, and 0 and 00 are green. Of the many types of bets that may be placed, one type involves betting on the outcome of the color of the winning number. For example, one may place a certain sum of money on red. If the winning number is red, one wins an amount equal to the bet placed and the amount of the bet is returned; otherwise, one loses the amount of the bet.If a player placed a $95 bet on red and a $95 bet on black in a single play in American roulette, what would be the expected value of his winnings?

The game works as follows: flip a fair coin, noting the side showing, and roll a fair standard 4-sided die (numbered 1–4), noting the number showing. If the die shows a 3 and the coin shows tails, then you win $22. If the coin shows heads and the die shows an even number, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
A game consists of spinning a spinner and then rolling a number cube. The spinner is equally likely to land on any 1 of the 4 colors red, yellow, green, or blue. The number cube is equally likely to land with any of the 6 sides labeled 1 through 6 up. To win the game, a contestant must either spin red and roll any number or spin a color other than red and roll a 6. In other words, the contestant must either spin red or roll a 6 to win.

You are given a deck of n cards, which are numbered 1 through n. After the n cards are randomly shuffled, the cards are dealt face up on the table, one card at a time. Card rule: after the first card is placed on the table, each new card must have a higher number than the previous card. If it does, this new card remains on the table. If the new card is lower in value, then this card is removed from the table and the game is immediately over. ***The image is the example*** Questions: Prove that for all positive integers n ≥ 3, if there are n cards in the deck, you score exactly 1 point with probability 12 and exactly 2 points with probability 13.
