A game consists of rolling a colored die with 3 red sides, 2 green sides, and one blue side. A roll of a red
loses. A roll of a green pays $3.00. A roll of blue pays $8.00. The charge to play the game is $3.00. Would
you play the game? Why or why not?
Yes you should play. On any given roll the cost to play exceeds the amount you are
expected to win.

- Economists theorize that the recent recession has affected men more than women because men are typically employed in industries that have been hit hardest by the recession. Women, on the other hand, are typically employed in services which are considered more recession resistant. A sample of 165 men and a sample of 140 women were drawn. In those samples, 20 men were unemployed, and 13 of the women were unemployed. Complete parts a and b below.

- An insurance agency services many customers who have purchased both a homeowner’s policy and a car policy from the agency. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For a car policy, the choices are $0, $50, and $100, and 25%, 25%, and 50% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(X=$0) = 0.25, etc. For a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, $200, and $500 and 30%, 30%, and 40% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(Y=$0) = 0.3, etc. Suppose an individual with both types of policy is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = the deductible amount on the car policy and Y = the deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy. Assume X and Y are independent. a. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y (write it as a table). b. Find median car insurance policy deductible. c.
