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

What is the missing value , 2/3 and n/12
gavmur [86]
N=8
If you set 2/3 equal to n/12 then you multiple 3 by 4 to get 12. So you have to multiple 2 by 4 to get N.

If y is directly proportional to x and y = 17.5 when x=21 find y when x=39
morpeh [17]

direct proportion y=kx , k is constant and k does not equal to 0.

17.5=k(21)

k=5/6

when x =39

y=5/6 ×39

y=32.5
