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 9 on them.

How many 's do we have to add to make the expected value equal to 6?

I will assume the question is supposed to be a 9. 

 

We can write as equation:

 

3×8+9×2+9x=6(10+x)

42+9x=60+6x

18=3x

x=6
