If 10 is 3 less, then adding 3 to 10 is 13 and if 13 is half the number of boys then 13 + 13 is 26. I’m not too sure but I think the answer is 26 boys

The expected value of the game is $8.75.

----------------------

The expected value is the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's probability</u>.
A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

The probability of spinning a 2 and a vowel is: $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{2}{32}$ .
Thus, $\frac{2}{32}$ probability of getting $50.

The probability of spinning 2 and a consonant is: $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{6}{32}$

Thus, $\frac{6}{32}$ probability of getting $25.

The probability of spinning 1 and a vowel is: $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{6}{32}$ .
Thus, $\frac{6}{32}$ probability of getting $5.
