MAT144 Week 7 Discussion. A friend invites you to play a game of chance that costs you $1 every time to play. You get to pick one card. You win if you pick the ace of spades. Otherwise, you lose. The amount that you win will be $(40 + the day of your birth). Example: If you were born on the fourth of July, you would win 40+4 = $44. What is the expected value of the amount you will win from each turn? Would it be a good idea to play this game only one time? Would it be a good idea to play 1,000 times?
