Game of chance: A player rolls a fair six-sided die. If outcome of a roll is a number smaller then 3, the player wins 5  dollars. Otherwise, the player looses as many dollars as there are dots on the top face of a rolled die. Let the random variable X be profit (amount won or lost) per game. Make a probability distribution table for the random variable: amount

Game of chance: A player rolls a fair six-sided die. If outcome of a roll is a number smaller then 3, the player wins 5  dollars. Otherwise, the player looses as many dollars as there are dots on the top face of a rolled die. Let the random variable X be profit (amount won or lost) per game.

  1. Make a probability distribution table for the random variable: amount won or lost.
  2. Find the Expected value of the experiment
  3. Use Law of Large numbers to interpret the meaning of the Expected value
  4. If a person plays 100 times, how much he expects to win/loose?
