HELP PLZ YOU WILL GET BRAINLYEST
Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, one chip has the number 3, and the other chip has the number 5. Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1).
Let X = the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe. Fill out the missing values in the table. (Hint: The total possible outcomes are six because there are four chips and you are choosing two of them.)


Xi 2 –1
P(xi)


What is Miguel’s expected value from playing the game?




Based on the expected value in the previous step, how much money should Miguel expect to win or lose each time he plays?




What value should be assigned to choosing two chips with the number 1 to make the game fair? Explain your answer using a complete sentence and/or an equation.



 
A game at the fair involves a wheel with seven sectors. Two of the sectors are red, two of the sectors are purple, two of the sectors are yellow, and one sector is blue.

Landing on the blue sector will give 3 points, landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point, landing on a purple sector will give 0 points, and landing on a red sector will give –1 point.
Let X = the points you have after one spin. Fill out the missing values in the table.

Xi
P(xi)



If you take one spin, what is your expected value?



What changes could you make to values assigned to outcomes to make the game fair? Prove that the game would be fair using expected values.











The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball to another player who will shoot a two-point shot. The point guard makes three-point shots 30 percent of the time, while his teammate makes the two-point shot 48 percent of the time.
Xi | 3 0
P(xi) | 0.30 0.70


Xi | 2 0
P(xi) | 0.48 0.52




What is the expected value for each choice?


Should he pass the ball or take the shot himself? Explain.



Claire is considering investing in a new business. In the first year, there is a probability of 0.2 that the new business will lose $10,000, a probability of 0.4 that the new business will break even ($0 loss or gain), a probability of 0.3 that the new business will make $5,000 in profits, and a probability of 0.1 that the new business will make $8,000 in profits.

Claire should invest in the company if she makes a profit. Should she invest? Explain using expected values.




If Claire’s initial investment is $1,200 and the expected value for the new business stays constant, how many years will it take for her to earn back her initial investment?

 
Tanya is considering playing a game at the fair. There are three different ones to choose from, and it costs $2 to play a game. The probabilities associated with the games are given in the table.

Lose $2 Win $1 Win $4
Game 1 0.55 0.20 0.25
Game 2 0.15 0.35 0.50
Game 3 0.20 0.60 0.20

What is the expected value for playing each game?





If Tanya decides she will play the game, which game should she choose? Explain.

Answer 1

Miguel expect to lose 1/2   $ each time he plays .

Three chips to be assigned with number 1 to make game Fair

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the chips have the number 1,

one chip has the number 3,

and the other chip has the number 5

There are total 4 chips

To win he need both chips with number 1

Probability of both chips with number 1 = (2/4) ( 1/3)

= 2/12

= 1/6

Probability of Winning = 1/6

Probability of Loosing = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6

Expected Value = 2 * (1/6)  - 1 * (5/6)

= 2/6 - 5/6

= -3/6

= -1/2   $

Miguel expect to lose 1/2   $ each time he plays

Three chips to be assigned with number 1 to make game Fair

Then Probability of choosing two chips with number 1

= (3/4)(2/3)

= 2/4

= 1/2

Probability of loosing = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

Game will be Fair
