Answer:
The expected monetary value of a single roll is $1.17.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample space of rolling a die is:
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6}
The probability of rolling any of the six numbers is same, i.e.
P (1) = P (2) = P (3) = P (4) = P (5) = P (6) = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
The expected pay for rolling the numbers are as follows:
E (X = 1) = $3
E (X = 2) = $0
E (X = 3) = $0
E (X = 4) = $0
E (X = 5) = $0
E (X = 6) = $4
The expected value of an experiment is:
[tex]E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)[/tex]
Compute the expected monetary value of a single roll as follows:
[tex]E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)\\=[E(X=1)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=2)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=3)\times \frac{1}{6}]\\+[E(X=4)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=5)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=6)\times \frac{1}{6}]\\=[3\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]\\+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[4\times \frac{1}{6}]\\=1.17[/tex]
Thus, the expected monetary value of a single roll is $1.17.
