Question

Consider a game in which you draw playing cards from a standard 52-card deck, one at a time. If a player draws a face card (a jack, a queen, or a king), the player is awarded 10 points. Any other card drawn costs the player 3 points. What is the expected value of drawing a card in this game? A. 0 points B. 3 points C. 6.5 points D. 10 points

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: There are many less face cards in the deck than other cards, you would think youre getting 3 points each time rather than thinking 10 points each time
