Question

A game involving chance is said to be fair if the expected amount won or lost is zero. Consider the following arcade game. A player pays $3 and chooses a number from 1 to 10. A spinning wheel then randomly selects a number from 1 to 10. If the numbers match, the player wins $26. Otherwise, the player loses the $3 entry fee. (a) Define a random variable $W$ that is the amount won by the player and draw its probability distribution. (Capital letters other than $X$ can be used for random variables.) Use negative values for losses and positive values for winnings. (b) Find the mean of $W$. Is this a fair game? (a) Define the random variable $W$ and draw its probability distribution. Choose the correct answer below. $P(W = 26) = 0.1$ and $P(W = -3) = 0.9$ (b) Find the mean of $W$. $\mu = -0.4$
