Answer:

Expected value of the game: -$0.421

Expected loss in 1000 games: $421

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible outcomes for the event:

- There is a 1 in 38 chance of winning $280

- There is a 37 in 38 chance of losing $8

The expected value for a single game is:

E(X) = \frac{1}{38}*\$280-\frac{37}{38}*\$8\\E(X)=-\$0.421

The expected value of the game is -$0.421

In 1,000 plays, the expected loss is:

L = 1,000*-\$0.421\\L=-\$421

You would expect to lose $421.
