Question

You are given Three very rare three sided 'Phoenix Coins' where each of the three sides are
equally likely to reveal itself upon a toss. The 'Phoenix Coin' sides and associated values
are as follows:
Phoenix Head = 0 'Tears'
Phoenix Tail = -3 'Tears'
Phoenix Fire = 12 'Tears'
Calculate the associated Expected Values and Standard Deviations of 'Phoenix Tears'
for (Case A) tosses of Two 'Phoenix Coins' and for (Case B) tosses of Three 'Phoenix
Coins'.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given Information

Given that,
Three very rare three sided 'Phoenix Coins' where each of the three sides are equally likely to reveal itself upon a toss.
The 'Phoenix Coin' sides and associated values are as follows:
$text Phoenix Head end text space equals space 0 space apostrophe text Tears end text apostrophe space text Phoenix Tail end text space equals space minus 3 space apostrophe text Tears end text apostrophe space text Phoenix Fire end text space equals space 12 space apostrophe text Tears end text apostrophe$
The objective is to Calculate the associated Expected Values and Standard Deviations of 'Phoenix Tears' for (Case A) tosses of Two 'Phoenix Coins' and for (Case B) tosses of Three 'Phoenix Coins'.
