U has a uniform distribution in the interval [0,10]
X has a Poisson distribution with parameter U. We have the following hierarchy
The expectation of U is
The conditional expectation of X given U is
The expected value of X is
The expected value of reward received by the player is $5
Let c be the price charged for playing the game.
If Y is the net gain, the net gain is given by
Y=X-c
The expected net gain is
For the expected net gain to be 0, the value of c=5.
Ans: The fair price charged for playing this game is $5.
Problem 3.4 (10 points) Consider this game of chance with a monetary payoff. First, a real number is chosen uniformly at random from the interval [0,10]. Next, an integer X is chosen according to the...
