Answer: Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of colored chips = 20

Number of blue chips = 2

Number of purple chips = 4

Number of green chips = 7

Number of red chips = 7

Amount of prize he gets for blue chip = $10

Amount of prize he gets for a purple chip = $5

No amount is given for red or green

Amount he had to pay = $2

So, Expected value of playing the game is given by

\frac{2}{20}\times 10+\frac{4}{20}\times 5+7\times 0+7\times 0-2\\\\=1+1-2\\\\=2-2\\\\=\$0

Hence, Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Answer: $0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total colored chips  in the bottle= 20

No. of blue chips = 2

Probability of getting blue chip= \dfrac{2}{20}=0.1

Prize for blue chip = $10

No. of purple chips = 4

Probability of getting purple chip= \dfrac{4}{20}=0.2

Prize for purple chips = $5

No. of green chips = 7

No.of red chips = 7

Probability of getting green chip or red chip= \dfrac{7+7}{20}=0.7

Price for green or red chip = 0

Amount you paid to play the game = $2

Then , the expected value of playing the game will be :-

0.1\times\$10+0.2\times\$5+0.7\times\$0-\$2\\\\=\$1+\$1-\$2=\$0

Hence, the expected value of playing the game = $0
