The game cost $0.25. if 24 people play how many people do you expect to win?

The statements provided in your question don't link. You can only estimate how many people you expect to win a game if we know the conditions for winning and losing.
And the cost of the game means nothing if the question isn't asking about how this might change depending on a condition in the game. Review the original question again.

The answer would be -3.9> -4.5
