Answer 1

Given

3 blue sides, 2 red sides and 1 white side.

Find

What price you 'd make this a fair game.

Step-by-step explanation

Probability of getting blue = 3/6

Probability of getting red = 2/6

Probability of getting white = 1/6

Probability distribution is

Expected value =

`\begin{gathered} \sum_^xP(x) \\ =(-2*(3)/(6))+(-1*(2)/(6))+(3*(1)/(6)) \\ =-1+(1)/(6) \\ =-(5)/(6) \\ =-0.833 \end{gathered}`

It sis clear that expected value is negative. it suggests that the game should not be played.

Final Answer

No, i would not play the game
