Alice and Bob play a game in which they flip a coin repeatedly.
Each time the coin is heads, Alice wins $1 (and Bob loses $1). Each
time the coin is tails, Bob wins (and Alice loses) $2. They
continue playing until Alice has won three flips. Prove that the
expected value of Bob’s winnings is $3. (Hint: Use linearity of
expected value to consider the expected value of each flip
separately, with flips being worth $0 if they do...

Joe Smith plays a betting game with his friends. He puts in one
dollar to join the game. If he wins the game, he gets $2. If he
loses, he gets nothing, so his gain is –$1. Joe Smith is planning
to play the game 100 times. The 100 outcomes will be independent of
one another. Let Vi, i = 1, 2, ..., 100 be the 100
outcomes. Then each Vi has the same probability

A roulette wheel has 38 numbers. Eighteen of the numbers are
black, eighteen are red, and two are green. When the wheel is spun,
the ball is equally likely to land on any of the 38 numbers. Each
spin of the wheel is independent of all other spins of the wheel.
One roulette bet is a bet on black—that the ball will stop on one
of the black numbers. The payoff for winning a bet on black is $2
