Flipping a fair coin 4 times. We win x euros when we bring x crowns unless we bring a single crown so not winning anything.
On average how many euros can you expect to win? (find the expected value)
=====
# of crowns::::::::::::: 0.......1.......2........3........4
Random winning values::: 0.......0.......2........3........4
Probabilities::::::::::::1/16.....4/16...6/16.....4/16.....1/16

---
E(x) = [0 + 0 + 12 + 12 + 4]/16 = 28/16 = 1.75 euros
