Answer:
Half way
Step-by-step explanation:
Half way, because the dog can run all the way through the woods, but only half of the time he is going in, the rest of the time he is going out.
The expected value per game is -0.26. Over 1000 games, you can expect to lose $263.16.
To find the expected value, we multiply the probability of winning by the amount of winnings, the probability of losing by the amount of loss, and adding those together.
We have a 1/38 chance of winning; 1/38(175) = $4.61. We also have a 37/38 chance of losing; 37/38(5) = $4.87.
$4.61-$4.87 = -$0.26 (rounded)
To five decimal places, our answer is -0.26136; multiplied by 1000 games, this is $261.36 lost.
4 divided by 3 = a whole and 3 repeated more than 4 times
(to use the number 4)
