Play the following games in the Games Fair:

  • Three Prize Roller
  • Word Scramble
  • Marble Draw
  • Ten Spinner

For each Games Fair game, answer the following questions:

  1. Create the probability distribution in a table for all the outcomes where X is the random variable representing the number of points awarded.
  2. Communicate how you arrived at the probability of each outcome.
  3. What is the expected value, E(X), for the game? You may include this in your table from the distribution. If the game costs 10 points to play, how much would the player expect to win or lose?
  4. Create the bar graph for the Probability Distribution.

Two team (A and B) play a series of baseball games. The team who wins three games of five-game-series wins the series. Consider A has home-field advantage (0.7 means A has probability of winning 0.7 if it plays in its field) and opponent-field disadvantage (0.2 means A has probability of winning 0.2 if it plays in opponents field). If the series start on A team’s field and played alternately between A and B team’s fields, find the probability that series...
