Q. There is a game where the outcome is a random integer from 1 to 100. If the outcome is odd, you win $13. If the outcome is even, you win nothing. If you play the game, what is the expected payoff?$____
Prompt: question_prompt: What's the expected payoff for playing the game where odd numbers win $13 and even numbers win nothing?
Odd Numbers: There are 100 possible outcomes, and half of them are odd. So there are 50 odd numbers between 1 and 100.
Total Odd Winnings: Each odd number wins $13, so the total winnings for all odd outcomes is 50×$13.
Calculate Total Winnings: Calculate the total winnings for odd outcomes: $\(50\) \times (\$\(13\)) = (\$\(650\)).
Calculate Expected Payoff: To find the expected payoff, divide the total winnings by the number of possible outcomes. Use the formula \(\frac{\text{total winnings}}{\text{number of possible outcomes}}\).
Calculate Expected Payoff: To find the expected payoff, divide the total winnings by the number of possible outcomes. Calculate the expected payoff: \(\$650 \div 100 = \$6.50\).
