Given: 2 gold marbles, 9 silver marbles, and 24 black marbles.If it is gold, you win $3. If it is silver, you win $2. If it is black, you lose $1.

To find: Expected value on playing the game

Chance of occurrence of  gold = 1/36

Chance of occurrence of silver = 9/36

On multiplying the given probability of occurence with the amount you would lose or win
