Step 1:
To play rolling fair die game one need to pay $ 2.
Roll a die, if one get 2 or 3 than he win the game.
If he win the game, he will get back $ 4.
A fair die has 6 faces.
Find the probability of getting 2 or 3.
Step 2:
If he loose the game than he loose $ 2.
If he won the game than he will got $ 2. (Since in the beganing he pay $2 to play so => 4 - 2 = 2)
Expected value .
Step 1:
The probability of winning a lottery is .
Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times.
Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.
n = 545, .
binomial mean = n*p.
