The expected value of the game is the mean value of the game

The expected value of the game is $1

<h3>How to determine the expected value?</h3>

There are 13 spades in a deck of card of 52

So, the probability of selecting a spade is:

P(Spade) = 13/52

Simplify

P(Spade) = 1/4

Winning = $7

The probability of not selecting a spade is:

P(Not spade) = 1 - 1/4

Simplify

P(Not spade) = 3/4

Lose = $1

The expected value of the game is:

E(x) = \sum x * P(x)

This gives

E(x) = \frac 14 * 7 - 1 * \frac34

Simplify

E(x) = \frac 74 - \frac34

Evaluate

E(x) = 1

Hence, the expected value of the game is $1

S_A_V [24]
In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:

Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.
