You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.
The expected value per game is -0.26. Over 1000 games, you can expect to lose $263.16.
To find the expected value, we multiply the probability of winning by the amount of winnings, the probability of losing by the amount of loss, and adding those together.
We have a 1/38 chance of winning; 1/38(175) = $4.61. We also have a 37/38 chance of losing; 37/38(5) = $4.87.
$4.61-$4.87 = -$0.26 (rounded)
To five decimal places, our answer is -0.26136; multiplied by 1000 games, this is $261.36 lost.
