Suppose you make a dollar bet on a game in which there is a 1 in 5 chance to win. If you win, you win two dollars. On average, you will lose playing this game and each play costs you _______ cents. If you play 200 times, you can expect to lose around _______ dollar
.
You play roulette betting one dollar on the number 5 each time. The bet pays 35 to 1. You have a 1 in 38 chance to win. On average, you will lose playing this game and each play will cost you approximately _______ cents.
Suppose you play roulette 64 times, betting a dollar on the number 5 each time, your expected net gain is _______ dollars.
Using the short-cut, the SD for the box model is _______ dollars. Thus, the standard error of playing 64 times is _______ .
In 64 plays, you will lose _______ dollars, give or take _______ dollars.
1)
proability of winning i.e p = 1/5 = 0.2
proability of losing = 1- 0.2 = 0.8
amount lost if you lose the bet is 1 and amount won if you won the bet is 2
expected profit = (-1)*0.8 +0.2*2 = -0.8+0.4 = -0.4
so expected loss = 0.4
so each play costs you $0.4 i.e 40 cents
expected loss if you play 200 times = 200*expected loss for each play = 200*0.4 = 80 dollars

1. (3 pts) A roulette wheel has 38 pockets. One is num- bered 0, another 00, and the rest are numbered fro 1- to 36. Except for 0 and 00, which are colored green, the numbers on the roulette alternate between red and black. A bet is on red or black. Suppose you bet one dollar on red. If a red number comes up, you get your dollar back and win another dollar. If a black or green number comes...
Use Central Limit Theorem Please! In playing a game, you win or lose 1 dollar with probability 0.5. If you play the game independently 1,000 times, what is (approximately) the probability that your fortune (the total amount you won or lost) is at least 10 dollars?

Problem 1. Suppose we are betting money on the outcome of a game of chance with two outcomes (e.g. roulette). If we guess correctly we get double our bet back and otherwise we lose the money we've bet. Consider the strategy where you initially bet one euro and you keep playing and doubling your bet until the first time you win. At that point you go home, having made a net profit. Let p be the probability of winning a...
Suppose you make a $5 bet on the number 0 on a roulette wheel with 38 slots labeled 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... , 36. If 0 is spun, you win a net gain of $175. If a 0 is not spun you lose the $5 bet. If you spin the wheel 50 times, how much money can you expect to gain or lose?
I am going to play a game of chance, but I want to know if it is worth my while. On average, if I played the game over and over, what amount would I expect to win (+$) or lose (-$) on average per game? That is the mean of the probability distribution that describes the game. It is also call the game's expected value. The formula for expected value is The game I'm playing costs $5 to play. The...
A casino game takes a $1 bet. If there is a 14% chance that you will win $4, and a 86% that you will lose your bet, what is the house edge of this game? Give your answer as a percentage to the nearest hundredth.
3. In a certain game of chance, you have a 3/4 chance of winning each time you play (with the outcomes each time you play independent of each other). Suppose you play the game until you win for the first time. What is the probability you will win the game on the first, second, or third time playing it?
