Exemplar to Follow

So that you know what each part of this assignment should look like, here is an example for you to follow.

E[One Number] = (1/38)36 + 37/38(0) − 1
= 36/38 + 0 − 1
= -2/38
The expected value of a $1.00 bet on a single number is -$0.05.

Note the work is shown and the conclusion is fully written. You need to do this, too, for each of the seven bets. Remember that you need to type this assignment and make it look good.
