Hmm i know this has been asked alot, but please bear with me

i didnt read question properly - stupid i know

in the first question i got the correct answer a 0.8 but i did this

o.8= Financial expectation
0.8 x 60 = Financial Expectation of all games
$48 = Total financial expectation


2nd part i got 2/3 but again times by 60


2/3 or 0.67 = Drop of 13 cents
2/3 x 60 = total financial expectation
$40 = Total financial exepectation

Therefore it does change because it has dropped.... etc



Both these questions are worth 2 each, i wasnt sure wat id get because i did correct working and got the right answer, but took it further..


What do u guys think?

Thanks

people have to realise a financial expectation is expected from ONE game, not 60. even though she plays 60 times, it asks for "the game", not what is "her" financial expectation.

i assumed that the game had 60 rolls

but i know realise that she played the game 60 times
