Help what is expected value

 

Suppose we have a bag with 10 slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a 3 on them and the other two have a 5 on them.

(a) What is the expected value of the number shown when we draw a single slip of paper?
(b) What is the expected value of the number shown if we add one additional 3 to the bag?
(c) What is the expected value of the number shown if we add two additional 3's (instead of just one) to the bag?

(a) What is the expected value of the number shown when we draw a single slip of paper?

 

Add the numbers together and divide by the total number of slips.

3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+5+5=6+6+6+6+10=12+12+10=24+10=34

Divide by ten to get 34/10=17/5
