    how much should a player expect to win on average = %281%2A11+%2B+2%2A8+%2B+10%2A4%29%2Ftotal_number_of_spots.


    Since the total number of spots is not given in the problem (only winning spots are listed),

    I stop my suggestion at this point.

How this problem is worded, printed, posted and presented, it is NOT a Math problem.
