Question 745598
you draw a card from an ordinary deck. if you draw an ace,you win $5.you win $3 for a face card and 10 for a seven of spades.if you pick anything else, you lose $2. on average,how much money can the operator expect to make per custome?
----------
Operator "win" values:.........-5....-3.......-10.....+2
Corresponding probabilities....4/52..12/52....1/52...35/52

-----
Expected("win") = [-20 -36 -10 + 70]/52 = 4/52 = 1/13 of a dollar
---
Expected "win" for the operator = 7.7 cents each time the game is played.
