A game advertises, EVERYONE IS A WINNER! It costs $3 to play. You get to choose a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. If you choose a

number less than 5 card, you win $10. If you choose a number 5 or greater, or a face card, you win $1. What is the expected value of playing this game?
$3.00
$5.50
$6.50
None of the above.
