Question:

A spinner device is numbered from 0 to 5, and each of the 6 numbers is as likely to come up as any other. A player who bets $1 on any given number wins $4 (and gets the $1 bet back) if the pointer comes to rest on the chosen number; otherwise, the $1 bet is lost. What is the expected value of the game (long-run average gain or loss per game)?
