Anyone good with probability?
« on: May 18, 2009, 02:03:51 PM »


Can someone please look over the small chart I made that describes the probability game I made up and tell me if it's correct? In my game, the player picks three cards from a deck, placing each one to the side as they are chosen. If all three cards are the same colour, they win a certain amount of money. If the cards are any other combinatrion of red and black, they win nothing. P(x) is probability, and ∑ XP(x) is the expected winnings on average. Does this make sense?
