<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
<span>So the question is what are three equivalent ratios for 4/3, 12/14 and 6/9. The simplest way to get the equivalent ratio of some other ratio is to either multiply the nominator and the denominator by the same number or to divide the nominator and the denominator with the same number. I need to point out that it's not always possible to divide them and get a whole number. First: (4/3)*(2/2)=8/6, (4/3)*(3/3)=12/9 and (4/3)*(4/4)=16/12. Second: (12/14)/(2/2)=6/7, (12/14)*(2/2)=24/28 and (12/14)*(3/3)=36/42. Third: (6/9)/(3/3)=2/3, (6/9)*(2/2)=12/18 and finally (6/9)*(3/3)=18/27.</span>
