J,Q,K can show up, with probability 12/52
\n" ); document.write( "Ace can show up, with probability 4/52
\n" ); document.write( "Other cards (non-winners) have probability (52-12-4)/52 = 36/52
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Expected return = 5(12/52) + 15(4/52) - 5(36/52) = -60/52 = -1.1538 \r
