Answer:

a. 0.75

b. elsa can expect to gain money. 0.75$

Explanation:

x = 1/6 = 0.166667

given  an outcome of 1,

1$ win * 0.166667 = 0.166667

given an outcome of 2,

$2 win * 0.166667 = 0.33333

given an outcome of 3,

$3 win*0.166667 = 0.5

remember that if she has an out come of 4, 5 and 6 she loses 0.5 dollars

given an outcome of 4,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

given an outcome of 5,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

given an outcome of 6,

-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333

The expected value of playing the game = 0.166667+0.333333+0.5-0.083333-0.083333-0.083333

= 0.750001

expected value of plying game = 0.75

b. in the long run, after playing the game many times, Elsa can expect to gain money. she can expect to win 0.75$ per role. option 1
