Expected Value and Fair Games

SyllabusSyllabus Prior Knowledge: Understanding of basic Probability theory

Numbers Up! You win the number that appears on the die in uro 4 for a 4 6 for a 6 etc A funfair game called Numbers Up! involves rolling a single die. Here are the rules:

Activity 1 1.How much did you win? 2. Work out your average(mean) amount you won per game having played the game 20 times. 3. When you have the value for the class mean, fill in the table below:

Activity 1 4. Does your average differ from that of the class? What could explain this? 5. What do you think the class average figure represents in the context of the game? 6. Would you pay 3 to play this game? Give a reason for your answer. 7. If you ran the Numbers Up! game at the funfair, how much would you charge people to play it? Explain your answer. 8. What do you think would be a fair price to pay to play this game? Why?

A Fair Price? If I roll a standard die many times what is the average score I can expect?

Expected Value How much money a player can expect to win/lose in the long run on a particular bet The House Edge/ Risk Analysis and Insurance/ Economics (Decision Theory) Mean: average of what HAS happened Expected Value: average of WHAT IS GOING to happen

Teaching Idea

Mathematical Expectation Suppose a couple decide to have three children. How many boys can they expect to have? Assume boys and girls are equally likely.

Fair or Unfair? Use Two Methods

Fair Games Fair Game A game is said to be fair if the expected value (after considering the cost) is 0. If this value is positive, the game is in your favour; and if this value is negative, the game is not in your favour.

Let Em Roll

Nazir Let Em Roll Feb 2013 On Nazirs final roll of the dice, what is the probability that he doesnt win the car?

Jyme Let Em Roll Oct 2013

Problem Solving with Expected Value Jyme has three cars with one roll remaining. Assuming the car is worth 15,000, (a)Find the probability that shell win the car on the last roll. (b)Find her expected pay-off based on re-rolling the last two dice. How much money would you need to have showing on those remaining dice after the second roll not to risk it?

Two Way Table Car CarCAR CarCAR CarCAR

SolutionSolution X ,000 P(X)6/367/368/363/362/361/369/36 The expected payoff if you re-roll the two dice is $500(6/36) + $1000(7/36) + … + $15,000(9/36) = $4,750 But if you have exactly three cars showing after two rolls, the largest money amount you could win is $3000. So, based on expected value, you should re-roll the last two dice no matter what.

Making Decisions Should I buy that extended warranty on my new printer?

In Summary The Expected Value of a random variable X is the weighted average of the values that X can take on, where each possible value is weighted by its respective probability Informally, an attempt at describing the mean of what is going to happen. Expected Value need not be one of the outcomes.
