Textbook Question
Chapter 8.5, Problem 18E
Suppose one day Mary brings a 2-headed coin and uses it to toss for the coffee. Since Mary tosses, Donna calls.
- (a) Is this still a fair game?
- (b) What is Donna’s expected payback if she calls heads?
- (c) What is Donna’s expected pay back .if she calls tails?
EXAMPLE 5 Friendly Wager
Each clay Donna and Mary loss a coin lo see who buys coffee ($1.20 a cup). One tosses and the other calls the outcome. If the person who calls the outcome is correct. the other buys the coffee, otherwise the caller pays. Find Donna’s expected payback.

In the game "Rolling for Rubles", you win $1 for rolling a 1, $2 for a 2 and so on till $6 for rolling a 6. What would be the fair price for a ticket to play this game?
$2.50
$3
$4
$4.50
$3.50
None of the other answers is correct.
You play a game where you roll two dice. It was decided that you lose ₱500 if you get a sum of 3, 6, or 9, and you lose ₱400 if you get a sum of 10. However, you win ₱300 for anything else. If you continue to play the game, how much do you expect to win or lose in the game in the long run?
you are playing a game in which a single die is rolled. if a 2 or a 5 comes up, you win $24, otherwise you lose $3. what is the price that you should pay to play game that would make the game fair?

- Introduction: Here's the game: there are two boxes with four balls each. To play, you put on a blindfold and then pick one ball at random from each box. There are two red, one blue and one green ball in the box on the left. There are two blue, one red and one green ball in the box on the right. Payouts: • So if the balls are different colors, • S0.50 if they are both red, • Sl if they are both blue, and • $16 if they are both green. Question: If the game costs $1 to play, would you expect to gain or lose money on average? And how much? In your solution, you must show: • How you compute the probability that payout is $0. • How you compute the probability that payout is $0.50. • How you compute the probability that payout is S1. • How you compute the probability that payout is $16. Summarize the data into a probability table. • Compute the expected value.

So did my family. One evening, my family played a game that heavily relied on luck.

- Part 2: Carnival Games At the carnival, you may remember a game where you throw darts to pop two balloons from a wall. The balloons may have prize tokens. For the next player... • There are 50 balloons on the wall and 21 of them each contain a prize token. • The next player pays $2 and gets to throw darts until they pop 2 balloons. Their winnings are based on how many prize tokens they collect. See the table below. Note: The payout of tokens does NOT take into consideration the $2 the player paid. Find the expected value for this game for the next player. Find who the game favors. Complete the tree diagram using non-simplified fractions to label the probabilities. Use T for token and NT for no token. On the right of the tree, list the four outcomes and their final probabilities using non-simplified fractions. Check these add to one.
