  1. Create the probability distribution in a table for all the outcomes where X is the random variable representing the number of points awarded. (already done)

  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?
