e chip has the number 3, and the other chip has the number 5. Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1). • Let X = the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe. Fill out the missing values in the table. (Hint: The total possible outcomes are six because there are four chips and you are choosing two of them.) Xi 2 –1 P(xi) • What is Miguel’s expected value from playing the game? • Based on the expected value in the previous step, how much money should Miguel expect to win or lose each time he plays? • What value should be assigned to choosing two chips with the number 1 to make the game fair?

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3 /><h3>Step 1</h3>

Miguel wins $2 is if he pulls two chips with the number 1.  

<u>Probability of winning is: </u>

  • 2/4 * 1/3 = 1/6  as there are 4 chips in total

<u> Probability of loosing is:</u>

  • 1- 1/6 = 5/6
<h3 /><h3>Step 2</h3>

<u>Missing values we found in the step 1, can be populated in the table:</u>

  • Xi === 2 === -1
  • P(Xi) === 1/6 === 5/6

<u>Expected Value as per table data:</u>

  • 1/6*2 + 5/6*(-1) = -1/2

Expected value is $1/2 loss each time he plays

<h3 /><h3>Step 3</h3>

To make the game fair, the expected value should be zero.

<u>Then as per the calculation above, let's replace 2, with x, and find its value.</u>

  • 1/6x + 5/6*(-1) = 0      
  • 1/6x = 5/6                  
  • x= 5  

So the amount should be $5 to make the game fair.
