Wilson is watching two different roulette-type games at a local charity bazaar. Each game costs $1 to play. In one game, there are ten different numbers, and if the number he selects comes up, he will win $12. In the other game, there are 100 different numbers, but if the number he selects comes up, he will win $50. What should Wilson do based on expected value theory?


▸ Play the first game because it has a higher expected value.

▸ Play either one of the games because they both have the same expected value.

▸ Play the second game because it has a higher expected value.

▸ Not play either game because they both have such low odds of winning.
