$10 to do a Math Problem
I already posted this in the Math and Probability forums, and I'm growing impatient at a lack of response.
The first person to give a verifiable answer to following problems will be shipped $10 on Stars or FTP. I'm a bit rusty on my stats, and can't figure this out. What is the variance of the following two situations? Situation 1: Getting 1.5:1 on a coin flip Situation 2: Getting 6:1 on a single number, on a the roll of a die Please show all steps. FWIW: I have the EVs calculated as: 1: (1.5x-1x)/2 = 0.25x = E(x) 2: (6x-5x)/6 = 0.167x = E(x) |

If no solution is found within 24 hours from this post, the funniest reply to this thread (totally subjective) will be awarded the $10.
