Answer:

The game is fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a board game is played as follows; a number cube numbered 1 to 6 is rolled.

Total cases=6

If the number 1 comes up , then you get nothing

Number of favourable cases that you get nothing =1

The probability that you get nothing =\frac{1}{6}=0.167

Using of probability formula : P(E)=\frac{Number\;of\;favourable\;cases}{Total\;number\;of\;cases}

If number 2,3 or 5 comes up you win 40 points

Number of favourable cases that you wins=3

The probability that you wins =\frac{3}{6}=0.5

Therefore, total number of points that you get =0.5\times 40=20

If number 4 or 6 comes up then you lose 60 points

Number of favourable cases that you lose=2

The probability that you lose =\frac{2}{6}=0.3

Therefore, total number of points that you get =0.3\times 60=18

Therefore, the probability of winning is greater than the probability of lose or you get nothing and the point that you get is greater than the points you lose.

Hence , the game is fair.

This is a fair game because you have a chance to win the same amount of money as you do to lose it.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2x + 2.7x - 8.1 = 6.9 + 1.1x

0.2x + 2.7x - 1.1x = 6.9 + 8.1
