Question

Deal or No Deal. You are a contestant with 5 suitcases left: $1 $30,000 $100,000 $300,000 $750,000 The bank offers you $250,000 to walk away from the game. Based on EXPECTED VALUE, explain whether or not you choose the deal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Deal

Explanation:

Amount of cash left in the 5 Suitcase = $1 , $30000, $100000, $300000, $750000

The probability of selecting each bad is equal and it is 1/5

Thus, the expected value of prize = 0.2(1+30000+100000+300000+750000)

= 0.2 * 1180001

= $236,000.2 0

Since the bank is offering amount of $250,000 which is greater than the expected value, then it is considered as a deal.
