provide an appropriate response in a game you have a 136 pr
provide an appropriate response . in a game, you have a 1/36 probability of winning $94 and a 35/36 probability of losing $8
Solution
PRobability of winning = 1/36
Probabiliity of losing = 35/36
Winning amount = 94
Losing amount = -8 (since it\'s an outflow)
Thus, expected value = weighted average using probabilities as the weights
E(X) = (1/36)* 94 + (35/36)*(-8)
= - 5.166667
~ -5.17
Option B is correct
Hope this helps.
