A pair of fair dice is rolled once. Suppose that you lose $10 if the dice sum to 10 and win $11 if the dice sum to 3 or 12. How much should you win or lose if any other number turns up in order for the game to be fair? To keep the game fair, you should $ if the dice sum to any other number.

You are bidding for an antique trombone in a sealed bid auction. All of your bids must be in increments of $10. You value the trombone at exactly $2,105, and guess that each time the price drops one $10 increment there is a 4% chance that someone else will bid (Assume that if you both bid then they other bidder gets it, as they bid a multiple of $10 plus $1..). The trombone goes to the highest bidder, the “winner” of the auction. Which of the following numbers represents a difference between the amount you should bid if the winner pays the amount they bid vs. if the winner pays an amount equal to the second-highest bid? a) $0 b) $80 c) $240 d) $250

A new game is being introduced at the Hard Rock Cafe. A ball is spun around a wheel until it comes to rest in one of many spots. Whatever is listed in that spot will be the player's winnings. If the wheel has 20 spots labeled $1, 13 spots labeled $2, and 2 spots labeled $10, how much should a player expect to win on average? Round to the nearest cent. Your Answer:
Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, one chip has the number 3, and the other chip has the number 5. Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1). Let X = the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe. Fill out the missing values in the table. (Hint: The total possible outcomes are six because there are four chips and you are choosing two of them.) Xi 2 –1 P(xi) What is Miguel’s expected value from playing the game? Based on the expected value in the previous step, how much money should Miguel expect to win or lose each time he plays? What value should be assigned to choosing two chips with the number 1 to make the game fair? Explain your answer using a complete sentence and/or an equation. A game at the…
You pay $11 to play a game where you draw a numbered ball from a bucket containing 12 identical balls numbered 1-12. If you draw a ball numbered less than 3 (1.e. 1 or 2), you win a dollar amount equal to the number on the ball. If you draw a ball numbered with a multiple of 3, you win $3. If you draw a ball with any other number, you win nothing. Let X be your net winnings. Create the probability distribution for X. Enter the values of X in ascending order from left to right. All answers should be exact. X P(X) 0 1/2 Submit Answer X ✓ 1 1/12 X ✓ 2 1/12 X ✓ 3 1/3 X ✓
