  1. The expected value is 2.3 if the payout probability distribution is payout  0 2 4 8 10  probability 0.45 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.05.
    According to the given question.
    We have the payout probability distribution.
    payout(s): 0  2  4  8  10
    Probability: 0.45  0.3  0.1  0.1  0.05
    Multiply payout to probability such that:
    0×0.45 = 0
    2 × 0.3 = 0.6
    4 × 0.1 = 0.4
    8 × 0.1 = 0.8
    10 × 0.05 = 0.5
    Therefore, the expected value of the winnings from a game with the given payout probability distribution is
    = 0 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.8 + 0.5
    =2.3
    Thus, the expected value is 2.3 if the payout probability distribution is payout  0 2 4 8 10  probability 0.45 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.05.
