QUESTION 10. A casino offers a game that it calls "five in a row". The rules of the game are simple: Pick a color, either red or black. Take a well-shuffled ordinary deck of 52 cards and pick 5 cards anywhere in the deck. If you pick 5 in a row of the color you chose, you win. Otherwise, you lose. You have to pay $10 for the chance to play this game, and you get $360 if you win. A standard deck has 26 red cards and 26 black cards. Calculate the expected value of playing this game in the casino. In other words, for each $10 that you spend in order to play this game, how much money should you expect to win back?
