In a lottery game a player wins $1,000,000 with probability 0.0000005, wins $200,000 with probability0.000002, and wins $30,000 with probability 0.00001. Suppose the player pays $2 to play the game, what is the player’s expected amount of winnings per game? (Include the minus sign if the answer is negative.)

And then replacing we have this for the expected value:

And after do the math we got:

And then the expected value for this game is -0.79998 a negative result means NOT a win.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable X as the amount that we can win. We can find the expected value with the following formula:

And we have the following probabilities and possible values given:

And then replacing we have this for the expected value:

And after do the math we got:

And then the expected value for this game is -0.79998 a negative result means NOT a win.
