((4.1))

11.

In the game of roulette, a player can place a

$6

bet on the number

19

and have a

1/38

probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on

19,

the player gets to keep the

$6

paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional

$210.

Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's

$6.

Find the expected value E(x) to the player for one play of the game. If x is the gain to a player in a game of chance, then E(x) is usually negative. This value gives the average amount per game the player can expect to lose.
