Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.

<u>Wager 1:</u>

probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5

Win = 440

Loose = 110

So,

Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165

<u>Wager 2:</u>

Similar to wager 1

Win = 770

Loose = 220

So,

Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275

2nd wager is better, in this sense.
