A popular casino table game is three-card poker. One aspect of the game is the "pair plus" bet in which a player is paid a dollar amount for any hand of a pair or better, regardless of the hand the dealer has. The table available below shows the profit and probability of various hands of a player playing the \( \$ 5 \) pair plus bet. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. i. Click the icon to view the profit and probability table. (a) What is the expected profit when playing the \( \$ 5 \) pair plus bet in three-card poker? The expected profit is \( -\$ \square \). (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (b) If you play the game for 4 hours with an average of 35 hands per hour, how much would you expect to lose? Expect to lose \( \$ \square \). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

To calculate the expected profit, we need the profit and probability of each hand type listed in the table. The expected profit is determined using the formula: \[ \text{Expected Profit} = \sum (\text{Profit} \times \text{Probability}) \] Assuming from the "pair plus" bet table for a \( \$ 5 \) bet you found *in your icon*, you would plug in the data for each hand option. (a) Let's say the final expected profit calculation yields a value, rounding it to two decimals gives you the answer, \( -\$ 2.50 \) as an example. (b) If you're playing for 4 hours with an average of 35 hands per hour, that totals to \( 4 \times 35 = 140 \) hands. If your expected loss per hand is \( -\$ 2.50 \), then over 140 hands your expected total loss becomes \( 140 \times 2.50 = \$ 350 \). Expected loss = \( \$ 350.00 \).
