Suppose that,in an experimental setting,100 students are asked to choose between Gamble A and Gamble B,where:
Gamble A: The student will receive $5,100 with a 70% probability and $200 with a 30% probability.
Gamble B: The student will receive $5,100 with a 50% probability,$200 with a 25% probability,and $0 (nothing) with a 25% probability.
What is the expected value of Gamble B?
A) EV = 0.7 × ($5,100) + 0.3 × ($200)
B) EV = 0.5 × ($5,100) + 0.25 × ($100) + 0.25 × ($25)
C) EV = 0.5 × ($5,100) + 0.25 × ($200) + 0.25 × ($25)
D) EV = 0.5 × ($5,100) + 0.25 × ($200) + 0.25 × ($0)
E) EV = 0.5 × ($2,600) + 0.25 × ($2,600) + 0.25 × ($0)
