Answer:

Expected Value = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value: So, expected value is the very important concept of probability, from insurance to governments, from casinos to lotteries the concept of expected value is used. It is basically the expected gain or loss when you perform the task repeatedly.

So here’s the question statement:

Bet = 3$  

Bet is on: Number 3 of a 6 faced dice.

Total numbers on dice = 6 = Total number of outcomes

Bet is on how many numbers = 1 = Number of Favorable outcomes.

If you win: you will get:     12$ = 3$ (Bet amount) + 9$ (outcome)

Outcome of winning = 9$

Probability of winning = Favorable outcome divided by Total number of outcomes = 1/6 = 0.16666..

If you lose you will lose:   3$ (Bet amount)

Outcome of losing = -3$ ( - “minus” represents losing)

Probability of losing = Favorable outcome divided by Total number of outcomes = 5/6 = 0.8333…

So, expected value is calculated when you play this game repeatedly right?

Formula to calculate Expected Value:

Expected Value = (Outcome of Winning) x (Probability of Winning) + (Outcome of Losing) x (Probability of Losing)

So, we have all these variables. Now just put values into the equation of expected value.  

Expected Value =  (9$) x (1/6) + (-3$) x (5/6)

Expected Value = -1$  

It means, every time you play the game you are expected to lose 1$.

You buy a box worth of Takis chips for $20(how many bags does not matter). You want to sell
Ronch [10]
You would need to sell at least 11 bags in order to make $68 profit. In total, to earn back what you spent on the box originally, you would need to make $88, which is how much 11 bags costs. If you make $88, then you have earned back the $20 spent on the box, and made the $68 profit.
