Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin.

If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1;

if the faces are both heads, you win $2;

if the coins do not match (one shows a head, the other a tail), you lose $1 (win (−$1)).

Let Y be the amount won

Then Y can take values as 1,2 and -1

P(Y=1) =P(TT) = 0.25\\P(Y=2) = P(HH) = 0.25\\P(Y=-1) = P(HT)+P(TH) = 0.5

The above is the probability distribution for Y.

perentage of mark up is 300%

let the marked up amount be represented as x

let 300% mark up be represented as 3x

the equatiopn for finding the price before markup

can be represented as 3x-x=$6.

                                    2x=$6

                                    x=$3.
