A fair die is tossed. If 2, 3 or 5 occurs, the player wins that
number of rupees, but if 1, 4, or 6 occurs, the player loses that number
of rupees, then his expected gain/loss (in Rupees) is-,d ik s mNkyk gh 6 vkrk gS] rks f
fdruh gkfu ¼:i;sa

Show answer and solution

Then expected value E of the game payoffs for the player
--------------------------------------
A_i 2 3 5 1 4 6
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
M_i 2 3 5 -1 -4 -6
--------------------------------------

= 2\left( \right) + 5\left( \right) - 4\left( \right) = - \left( \right)

Since E is negative therefore game is unfavorable to the player.
