The expected value is -$0.33.

The probability of winning is 1/6.  The probability of losing is 5/6.

If you win, your prize is 10-2 = 8, since you paid $2 to pay the game.  If you lose, you lose the $2 you spent.

The expected value would be the probability of winning, 1/6, multiplied by the winnings, 8, added to the probability of losing, 5/6, multiplied by the loss, -2:
1/6*8 + 5/6(-2) = 8/6 - 10/6 = -2/6 = -0.33

Answer: The expected value is -$0.33

Step-by-step explanation: The expected value is calculated as:

E = ∑pₙxₙ

where xₙ is a given event (in this case winning 8$ or losing 2$) and pₙ is the probability for the event.

So in this you only win with one result in the dice, so the probability of winning is 1/6, and the probability of losing must be 5/6.

Then the expected value is:

E = 1/6*$8 - 5/6*$2 = $-0.33

Where I used the profit of $8 instead of $10, because you must pay $2 for play, and you win $10, the profit is ($10 - $2) = $8

Goshia [24]

<t =33 since triangle  RUT is isosceles  (RU = TU)

<r + <u + <t = 180  triangle = 180

33 + <u + 33 = 180

66 + <u = 180

< u =114

<rus = < sut  from the diagram

<rus + <sut = <u

x + x = 114

2x = 114

divide by 2

x = 57
