The expected value of the game is its average earnings

  • The expected value of a round is $2.23
  • The expected value when the game is played 755 times is $1683.65

How to determine the expected value of a round

There are 12 cards with a value of 4 or less.

So, the probability of selecting a card with a value of 4 or less is:

[tex]P(x \le 4) = \frac{12}{52}[/tex]

The probability of selecting a card with a value more than 4 is the complement of the above probability.

So, we have:

[tex]P(x > 4) = 1 - \frac{12}{52}[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 4) = \frac{40}{52}[/tex]

The expected value is then calculated as:

[tex]E(x) = \frac{12}{52} * 43 - \frac{40}{52} * 10[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]E(x) = \frac{12* 43 - 40 * 10}{52}[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = \frac{116}{52}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]E(x) = 2.23[/tex]

Hence, the expected value of a round is $2.23

The expected value when the game is played 755 times

In (a), we have:

[tex]E(x) = 2.23[/tex]

In probability, we have:

[tex]E(nx) = n * E(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(755x) = 755 * 2.23[/tex]

[tex]E(755x) = 1683.65[/tex]

Hence, the expected value when the game is played 755 times is $1683.65
