A fair 20-sided die is rolled repeatedly, until a gambler decides to stop. The gambler pays $1 per roll, and receives the amount shown on the die when the gambler stops (e.g., if the die is rolled 7 times and the gambler decides to stop then, with an 18 as the value of the last roll, then the net payo↵ is $18 $7 = $11). Suppose the gambler uses the following strategy: keep rolling until a value of m or...

Suppose that in a certain game you roll a die, and get winnings equal to $100 times the amount shown on the die. If you want to, you can roll again up to a total of three times. However, each time you roll again, you forfeit your previous winnings. You decide to take the following strategy: choose a number i, and if you ever get i or above, stop and collect your winnings, otherwise roll again. What is the value...

In a game of repeated die rolls, a player is allowed to roll a
standard die up to n times, where n is determined prior to the
start of the game. On any roll except the last, the player may
choose to either keep that roll as their final score, or continue
rolling in hopes of a higher roll later on. If the player rolls all
n times, then after the nth roll, the player must keep that roll
as...

Consider the setting where you first roll a fair 6-sided die, and then you flip a fair coin the number of times shown by the die. Let D refer to the outcome of the die roll (i.e., number of coin flips) and let H refer to the number of heads observed after D coin flips. (a) Suppose the outcome of rolling the fair 6-sided die is d. Determine E[H|d] and Var(H|d). (b) Determine E[H] and Var(H).

The Die is Cast: Imagine a fair die with six faces numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6. You will get to spin the die 3 times. After the first spin, you can choose to be paid dollars equal to the number shown on the die. If you choose to accept the money, the game ends. If you choose to continue, the die is spun again, and again you can accept dollar payment equal to the number showing on the die, at which point the...

You and your opponent both roll a fair die. If you both roll the same number, the game is repeated, otherwise whoever rolls the larger number wins. Let N be the number of times the two dice have to be rolled before the game is decided. (d) Assume that you get paid $10 for winning in the first round, $1 for winning in any other round, and nothing otherwise. Compute your expected winnings. Answer: (d) You get paid $10 with...
