Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

The player has a 1/4 chance of drawing any of the 4 prizes. This means that the probability of drawing a prize of $4 is 1/2 because there are 2 prizes worth of $4. The probability of drawing a prize of $20 is 1/4 and the probability of drawing a prize of $200 is also 1/4. To find the fair price of the game, we have to calculate the expected value that the player will gain. This can be obtained by multiplying any possible value of a price for the probability of drawing a prize of that value and adding all the obtained values togueter. Thus, the fair price of the game is

4 * \frac{1}{2} + 20 * \frac{1}{4} + 200 * \frac{1}{4} = 57

galben [10]
Given two points; (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the slope is:

m=(y₁-y₂) / (x₁-x₂)      or      m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

In this case:
(4,3)
