Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, on

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{-\frac{1}{2}}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel's choose the best way to win the 2 dollars by pulling the two chips with the number 1. In total, there are four balls, so his probability of winning is:

$\to \frac{2}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}= \frac{1}{6}$

The chances of losing a dollar add up to that amount, so 5/6.

Price predicted = $\frac{1}{6} \times (2) + \frac{5}{6} \times (-1)$

$=\frac{1}{6} \times 2 + \frac{5}{6} \times -1\\\\=\frac{1}{3} - \frac{5}{6} \\\\=\frac{2-5}{6}\\\\=\frac{-3}{6}\\\\=- \frac{1}{2}\\$

The final answer is " $-\frac{1}{2}$ "
