The man decides to throw the die thrice but quits as soon as he gets a number greater than 4 .
The expected value of the amount (in Rs.) he wins or loses is :

  1. A \(\frac{14}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{19}{9}\)
  3. C \(\frac{22}{9}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{19}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{Win}) = P(\text{number} > 4) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\) \(P(\text{Lose}) = P(\text{number} \le 4) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}\)…
