- Green Red Orange Purple Yellow 3. Caitlyn and Tabitha want to fairly decide who will take the family dog on a walk, so they roll a fair six-sided die and spin the spinner above. Caitlyn will walk the dog if the die roll is a 1, 2, or 3 and the spinner lands on orange or green. Tabitha will walk the dog if the die roll is a 4 or 6 and the spinner lands on red, yellow, or purple. They will continue the experiment until one of the events occurs. Does the experiment provide a fair way to decide who walks the dog? Explain using probability.arrow_forwardTo raise money for the local Veterans Affairs hospital, your friend organizes a fundraiser, inviting you to play a two-stage game where you pay $8 to play. The game works as follows: a fair 8-sided die is rolled, noting the number shown, and a spinner divided into 4 equal regions of different colors (blue, red, green, orange) is spun, noting the color. If the die shows 3 or the spinner shows orange, then you win $21. If the die shows an even number and the spinner does not show orange, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ (c) Is this game fair? Yes Noarrow_forwardTwo construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, $ 35 Million and $ 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win). Sky is not aware of this survey. (a) State reasons why/how this game can be described as a two-players-zero-sum game (b) Considering all possible combinations of bids, formulate the payoff matrix for the game.
