You are given 2 to 1 odds against tossing three heads with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$2 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if

you fail. Find the expected value​ (to you) of the game. Would you expect to win or lose money in 1​ game? In 100​ games? Explain.

Answer:

- $0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

To win 3 heads must be obtained, the probability of this is:

p = (1/2) ^ 3 = 0.125

Now, let's review the other scenarios:

HHH -> 0.125

HHT

THH ----> p (2H, 1T) = 3 * 0125 = 0.375

HTH

HTT

TTH ----> p (1H, 2T) = 3 * 0125 = 0.375

THT

TTT -> 0.125

So the waiting value would be:

EV = 2 * 0.125 - 1 * 0.375 - 1 * 0.375 - 1 * 0.125

EV = - 0.625

That is to say that the waiting value is - $ 0.625

The outcome og 1 game cannot be predicted but 100 you loss because the expected value is negative

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample standard deviation is  s =  1.5

  The mean difference of the two groups is  \=x _ 1 - \=x_2 =  1

   The standard error is  SE =  \frac{ \= x_1 - \= x_2}{4}

=>                                      SE =  \frac{1}{4}

Let assume that the confidence level is 95% hence the level of significance is  

   \alpha = (100-95)\%

=> \alpha = 0.05

So the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} obtained from the normal distribution table is

     Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE    

   E =  1.96 * \frac{1}{4}

    E = 0.49

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

  n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}  * s^2}}{E}]^2

=> n  = [\frac{1.96 * 1.5}{0.49} ]^2

=> n  = 36
