Consider a game in which players draw playing cards one at a time from a standard 52-card deck. If a player draws a face card (a jack, a queen, or a king), the player is awarded 16 points. Any other card drawn earns the player 3 points. What is the expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn? A. 3.7 points B. 6 points C. 6.3 points D. 9.5 points

Expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Consider a game in which players draw playing cards one at a time from a standard 52-card deck. If a player draws a face card (a jack, a queen, or a king), the player is awarded 16 points. Any other card drawn earns the player 3 points.

To find -  What is the expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn?

Formula used -

Expected value, E[x] = ∑ x p(x)

where p(x) is the probability

Proof -

Total cards in a standard deck = 52

Total face cards = 12 (a jack, a queen, or a king)

Other cards = 40

Now,

Probability of getting a face card =

Probability of getting a other card =

So,

Expected value, E[x] = ∑ x p(x)

                                  = (16)() + (3)()

                                  =

                                  =

                                  = 6

∴ we get

Expected value of drawing a card in this game on the first turn = 6

So,

The correct option is - B. 6 points

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

22.83 repeating

step-by-step explanation:

137 ÷ 6 is 22.8333333 therefore we understand that 3 is repeating.
