In your original post, answer the following:

• Create a probability table for this distribution
• What is your expected gain or loss from playing?
• If you played 100 times how much would you expect to win or lose?
• After looking at this information and doing a few calculations, would you play?  Why or why not?
• Is it binomial?  I'll leave this for you to investigate and explain.
