paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional $315. Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's $9. Find the expected
value E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of chance, then E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per
