Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A deck of cards consists of 52 cards out of which, 13 are diamonds. Therefore in a random pick, the probability of picking a diamond is 13/52 = 1/4 . When a diamond is picked, the player wins 30, pays the dealer 10, and is left with 20 . The probability of not picking a diamond is 1  1/4, or 3/4 . When a diamond is not picked, the player win nothing, pays the dealer 10, and is left with -10 . Therefore, the expected value of the gamble is (1/4  20)  (3/4  10) = -2.50 . Since, the expected value of the gamble is -2.50 a player loses an average of 2.50 each time he plays the game.
