Gambling Days!

• Invent a game that would allow you to place a simple bet.  There are cards, dice, and coins on the table at the front of the room.

• Calculate the expected value for your game.

• Play the game with a partner.

o Keep track of wins/losses, money won/lost.  Play enough times (20+) to have a statistically significant set of data.

• Compare actual wins/losses (money won/lost) to your expected value.

• Write a paragraph (or two or three) summarizing all of the above (including the calculation of expected value) and whether the results turned out as your expected.

• Due tomorrow at the end of class!
