Econ HW - Expected Value
For some reason this isn't making sense to me, so hopefully I can get the right answer here.
Question: What is the expected value of a random toss of a die? (Fair and six-sided.)
This next question I just have no idea how to do it.
Suppose your current wealth, M, is 100 and your utility function is U = M^2. You have a lottery ticket that pays $10 with a probability of 0.25 and $0 with a probability of 0.75. What is the minimum amount for which you would be willing to sell this ticket?
Thanks.
