Problema Solution

Determine the expectation of a person who plays the game. Determine the fair price to play the game.A pointer shows $2, $5, $12. it cost $7 to play the game

Answer provided by our tutors

I believe the circle s where  2  is in half place  5 in 1/4 and 12 in 1/4

E(x) = sum(x*p(x))

= 2*1/2 + 5*1/4 + 12*1/4

= 1 + 1.25 + 3

= 5.25

since the expected value is 5.25  so the fair value should be 5.25  or less...
