Mathematics: If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, i will pay you $43. if not, you pay me $11. (aces are considered the highest card in the deck.) step 1 of 2 : find the expected value of the proposition. round your answer to two decimal places. losses must be expressed as negative values.

If is a random variable representing your winnings from playing the game, then it has support

$W=\begin{cases}43&\text{if you draw something with value at most 3}\\-11&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

There are 52 cards in the deck. Only the 1s, 2s, and 3s fulfill the first condition, so there are 12 ways in which you can win $43. So has PMF

$P(W=w)=\begin{cases}\frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}&\text{for }w=43\\1-\frac{12}{52}=\frac{10}{13}&\text{for }w=-11\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

You can expect to win

$E[W]=\displaystyle\sum_ww\,P(W=w)=\frac{43\cdot3}{13}-\frac{11\cdot10}{13}=\boxed{\frac{19}{13}}$

or about $1.46 per game.
