Problem 16
Involve computing expected values in games of chance. A game is played using one die. If the die is rolled and shows 1 , the player wins \(\$ 1\); if 2 , the player wins \(\$ 2\); if 3 , the player wins \(\$ 3\). If the die shows 4,5 , or 6 , the player wins nothing. If there is a charge of \(\$ 1.25\) to play the game, what is the game's expected value? What does this value mean?
