you are playing a game in casino. the dealer throws 2 six sided dice. you win the product of the values on the dice. assuming you are risk neutral. how much are you willing to pay to play this game

Respuesta :

Answer:

12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 outcomes in a throw of 2 dice throws here.

The amount we would be willing to pay is computed here as the expected product value for the 2 dice as we are risk neutral, therefore we would be using the expected value.

The expected values here are computed as:

X P(X = x) xP(X =x)

1 1 1

2 2 4

3 2 6

4 3 12

5 2 10

6 4 24

8 2 16

9 1 9

10 2 20

12 4 48

15 2 30

16 1 16

18 2 36

20 2 40

24 2 48

25 1 25

30 2 60

36 1 36

36 441

Using the above table, the expected amount here is computed as:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{441}{36} = 12.25 [/tex]

Therefore 49/4 is the required expected value here.

The expected value represents the amount you are willing to pay.

The amount you are willing to pay is #12.25

Let the dice be A and B.

So, we have:

[tex]A = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

[tex]B = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

The sample space of the product of the outcomes of the dice is:

[tex]S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\\2,4,6,8,10,12\\3,6,9,12,15,18\\4,8,12,16,20,24\\5,10,15,20,25,30\\6,12,18,24,30,36\}[/tex]

The sample size is:

[tex]n(S) = 36[/tex]

The amount you are willing to pay is the expected value of the sample space.

This is calculated using:

[tex]Expected = \frac{\sum(S)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = \frac{1+2+3+4+5+6+.......+36}{36}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = \frac{441}{36}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 12.25[/tex]

Hence, the amount you are willing to pay is #12.25
