Question 507781
IN A GAME OF 52 DECKS of cards, i will receive $50 if the card drawn is an ace and $20 if it's a king. i pay $5 if any other card drawn. find the expected value
---
Random "winning" values::::::: 50 :::::20 ::::::-5
Corresponding probabilities:::1/13::::1/13::::::11/13
-------------
E(winning) = (50+20-5*11)/13 = 15/13 = $1.15
