One of the wagers in roulette is to bet that the ball will stop on a number that is a multiple of 3. (Both 0 and 00 are not incl

uded.) If the ball stops on such a number, the player wins double the amount bet. If a player bets $2, compute the player's expectation.

Answer:

The players expectation is -0.1052

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the Roulette numbers to from 1-36, also the two green zeroes 0 and 00,

Thus, there are 38 places on which the ball can land.

On first 36 numbers, 12 of them are divisible by 3. Also there are 26 numbers which are not divisible by 3.

The probability of a wager winning is: 12/38 or 6/19

Now the probability of a wager to loss is: 26/38 or 13/19

So for a 6/19 chance of winning $4 and a 13/19 chance of losing $2.

Therefore, the expected outcome is:

4 × 6/19 + -2 × 13/19 = 1.2632 - 1.3684 = -0.1052

The expected value comes up with a negative sign. Hence, he will lose money.

The players expectation is -0.1052

Lance measured 0.485 liters of water. Angel measured 0.5 liters of water. Lance said, "My beaker has more water than yours becau
Advocard [28]
Lance is not correct. Although his number does have more decimal places, his number is not greater. Angel has the greatest number in the most valued place, which is the tenths place in this case. We can understand this by knowing that 5>4. So, Angel has more water, and Lance is incorrect.
