Given Solution: `aA 1 in 6 chance of getting $3 is worth 1/6 * $3 = $.50 . A 1 in 6 chance of getting $2 is worth 1/6 * $2 = $.33 1/3 . A 1 in 6 chance of getting $1 is worth 1/6 * $1 = $.16 2/3 . The total expectation is $1.00 * 1/6 + $2.00 * 1/6 + $3.00 * 1/6 = $1.00 So a fair price to pay is $1.00 ** Self-critique OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* question: Query 12.5.10 expectation Roulette $1 bet 18 red, 18 black one zero What is the expected net value of a bet on red? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There are 18 winning compartments, and 19 losing compartments, and if you win you get $1 and if you lose you get -$1. So 18/37 * $1 + 19/37 * (-1) = .49 + (-.51) = -$.02 is the expected net value of a bet on red. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `aIf your net gain is $1 for a win and -$1 for a loss the expected value is 18/37 * (+1) + 19/37 * (-1) = -$.027. ** Self-critique OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* question: Query 12.5.20 exp sum of 2 of 5 cards 1-5. What is the expected sum of the numbers on the two cards drawn? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There arent anyways to get 1 or 2. To get 3 I can either draw 1 and 2, or 2 and 1. To get 4 I can either draw 1 and 3, or 3 and 1. To get 5 I can either draw 1 and 4, 4 and 1, 2 and 3, or 3 and 2. To get 6 I can either draw 1 and 5, 5 and 1, 2 and 4, or 4 and 2. To get 7 I can either draw 2 and 5, 5 and 2, 3 and 4, or 4 and 3. To get 8 I can either draw 3 and 5, or 5 and 3. To get 9 I can either draw 4 and 5, or 5 and 4. So there are 20 possibilities, so the probability of getting a 3, 4, 8, or 9 are 2/20, and the probability of get a 5, 6, or 7 is 4/20. So the expected sum is 2/20 * 3 + 2/20 * 4 + 4/20 * 5 + 4/20 * 6 + 4/20 * 7 + 2/20 * 8 + 2/20 * 9 = 120/20 = 6. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `aYou can't get a sum of 1 on two cards. There is also no way to get a sum of two, since the lowest total possible is 1 + 2 = 3. There are 2 ways to get total 3. You can get 1 on the first and 2 on the second, or vice versa. There are 2 ways to get total 4. You can get 1 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa. There are 4 ways to get total 5. You can get 1 on the first and 4 on the second, or vice versa, or 2 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa. There are 4 ways to get total 6. You can get 1 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa, or 2 on the first and 4 on the second, or vice versa. There are 4 ways to get total 7. You can get 2 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa, or 4 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa. There are 2 ways to get total 8. You can get 3 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa. There are 2 ways to get total 9. You can get 4 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa. You can't get more than 9. There are 2+2+4+4+4+2+2 = 20 possibilities, so the probabilities are 2/20, 4/20, 5/20, etc.. The expected sum is therefore 2/20 * 3 + 2/20 * 4 + 4/20 * 5 + 4/20 * 6 + 4/20 * 7 + 2/20 * 8 + 2/20 * 9. This gives 120 / 20 = 6. ** Self-critique OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: Ok ********************************************* question: Query Add comments on any surprises or insights you experienced as a result of this assignment.
