Question

A game is played on nine squares, numbered 1 through 9. It costs $1 to play the game. A computer program randomly selects 4 of the 9 squares to be colored red, 3 of the squares to be colored blue and the remaining 2 squares to be colored white. Before the program is run, the player selects 4 squares to color red, 3 squares to color blue and 2 squares to color white. If the color of each square chosen by the player matches that selected by the computer program, then the player wins $1000. What is the expected gain or loss if this game is played 100 times?
