FINDING THE THEORETICAL EXPECTATION
• Payout: Win $600Probability = 1/6Value = $600Expectation = 1/6 x
600
=$100
• Try: Payout: Win $150Expectation = 3/6 x
150
=$75
The expectation of an event is the product of the probability of an event, and the value of that outcome.
INVESTIGATING INVESTIGATING EXPECTATIONSEXPECTATIONS
EXPERIMENTAL MEAN
• When you perform an experiment where each outcome has a certain value, we can calculate the experimental mean or average outcome for that experiment
Eg) You roll a dice and win $1 for every even number rolled, and $2 for every odd number rolled.
Play this game 10 times and find your experimental mean value.
THEORETICAL MEAN
• The theoretical mean value, or expected value, denoted E(X), is calculated by multiplying the probability of each event and its value, then finding the sum of these expectations.
• Eg) You roll a dice and win $1 for every even number rolled, and $2 for every odd number rolled. Find the expected value of this experiment.
FIND THE EXPECTED VALUE:
1. You flip a coin. If you flip heads you win $1. If you flip tails you lose $1.
2. Roll a dice. If you roll a 6 you win $100, otherwise you lose $1.
3. Pay $2 to draw two cards from a deck. You win $10 if you draw two face cards in a row.
4. Which of these games seemed fair? How can you tell?
LUCKY DOUBLE 7/11
Rules of the Game:Roll two dice at the same time. If you roll a sum 7, 11 or doubles you win $10 dollars.You pay $2 dollars to play the game.
Your task:-Simulate playing this game 100 times and calculate your experimental mean value-Calculate your theoretical mean value-Explain: Who would you rather be, the player or the operator?
LOTTO 6/49
• A ticket costs $5. You pick 6 different numbers between 1 and 49.
• On the day of the draw, 6 random numbers are chosen. If they all match the numbers on your ticket (in any order) then you win $10,000,000
• What is the expected value of buying a Lotto 6/49 ticket?
SUMMARYSUMMARY
What is expected value? How is it different from an experimental mean value?
What does it mean for a game to be mathematically fair?
When will the experimental mean value and the theoretical mean value be close to each other?
