Answer:

\frac{15}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2 heads) = P(first flip = head)*P(second flip = head)

=> (\frac{1}{2} )(\frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{1}{4}

P(1 head) = P(first flip = head)*P(second flip = tail) + P(first flip = tail)*P(second flip = head)

= \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{2}

P(no heads) = P(first flip = tail)*P(second flip = tail)

= \frac{1}{4}

E(winning) =10(\frac{1}{4} )+0(\frac{1}{2} )+5 (\frac{1}{4} )

= (\frac{10}{4} )+ (\frac{5}{4} )

= \frac{15}{4}
