A card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck. If the card is a king, you win $10; otherwise, you lose $4. What is the expected value of the game?
In a Standard 52 card deck, there are 4 kings.
Thus, Probability of drawing a card which is a king = 4/52=1/13= probability of winning
Probability of drawing a card which is not a king = (52-4)/52= 48/52=12/13= probability of losing
Since
if the card drawn is a king one wins $10
If any other card is drawn , one loses = $4
Expected value of the game
= -2.9230
ANS: The expected value of the game is -2.9230.
