Question

On a gameboard landing on blue means the move ahead one space landing on red means the move ahead two spaces and landing on orange means to move back one space if you took 30 spoons about where would you expect to be on the game board related to where you started relative

Answer 1

20 spaces ahead from starting position.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 3 colors and 30 spoons.

Each color would be landed on an equal number of time.

That means landing on blue is 10 times out of 30 times.

Landing on red is 10 times out of 30 times.

Landing on orange is 10 times out of 30 times.

As it is given that for blue you need move ahead one space landing on red means the move ahead two spaces and landing on orange means to move back one space

Therefore, the expected position is:

= 10(+1) + 10(+2) + 10(-1)

= 10 + 20 - 10

= + 20

Hence, 20 spaces ahead from starting position.
