Solution -

The probability of getting 6 from a single roll of a fair dice = \frac{1}{6}

The probability of getting any other number rather than 6 would be 1-\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

So when the outcome is 6, then he wins $5 ,otherwise he has to pay $2

So

E(X) = Expectation value = (\frac{1}{6} )(5) - (\frac{5}{6} )(2)                                    ( ∵ $5 gain so +ve and $2 loss so -ve)

=\frac{-5}{6}

∴ So Merrill will lose \frac{5}{6} dollar
