    For those also confused about if it should be $400, I think he must have intended to say "If she wins, she gets a $500 prize and they cancel her $100 cost of playing

    this is a very clear explanation of how to compute expected value. so the only key is that it's either win or loss. in this video there's only three key being used. outcomes, value and probability... I never understood the video that my math prof. provided us for the lesson and let alone the textbook that I had so I have to watch video and I'm glad I found this one.. it was very helpful and easy to understand... I got A plus on my quiz. thanks to this video.

    Hey, this is just a warning but the problem has an odd wording and would (in my opinion) have to be + 400 and - 100 for the two outcomes. Because if you stake 100 $ and win 500 then the net benefit is 400 $ and not 500. This also makes sense because playing the game and losing, the net loss is 100, so the net gain should also account for that. It is just the wording of the problem, wonderful video tho

    If she plays 20 games and her expected value for wining on each game she plays is $20, then she wins $400, but she doesn’t play for free--she pays a $100 every time she plays. So in that case, she appears to have won $400 but also lost $2000! Did she really win? Unless of course, the cost of playing is factored into the calculation of the expected value. In such case, she could indeed win $400 in theory. This problem needs further clarification.
    As for the laptop scenario, this must be a horrible business. The company margin of profit is too low. If the average salary of a worker is $2,500 a month, it takes the company manufacturing more than a 100 laptops to pay only one of its employees! Anyway, that was a side note that has nothing to do with the subject. The expected value though should be described as to represent not just the winning scenario, but also the losing scenario. Both scenarios are called the expected value. Great job!

    I beleive the smaller the games, the money is harder to calculate (it might be way more off than 200), but if you have 1000 games then it would be around 20*1000 like you said.

    my brain has a hard time understanding math. why are we multiplying the value by the probability? (instead of ADDING the value to the probability for example). Like what does multiplying them do? I need this problem broken down into more detail because I have difficulty with basic mathematics. Now I understand how to solve this problem but I don't fully understand WHY we solve it this way. I just understand how to plug in the formula.

    • @yosbo9060
      @yosbo9060 2 года назад

      @@eliciagarcia3601 It's essentially just a weighted average. You multiply the 500 by how often it occurs (0.80) to give it a "weight" of 80%. -100 occurs only 20% of the time, so you multiply it by 0.20. Once you add the two values together, you get an average. 80% of your new average comes from the $500, and just 20% of it comes from the -100.
      You could contrast this with the way you're probably used to taking averages. 500 +(-100) / 2. This just means that 50% of the time it is 500, and the other half of the time it's -100. Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 0.50, so the whole expression can be rewritten as 500(0.50) + (-100)(0.50). Note how this is the same as the presented problem, just with even weight distribution.

    This is wrong no? For the first example, if she loses she is down 100 bucks, but if she wins she is up 500 bucks *less* the 100 bucks she spent to play. So the calculation would be 400(0.2)-100(0.8) which is zero. She's not winning or losing anything from the game.
