- To 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.
