How Build Table To find expected value set up table net gain|P(net gain) then…   negative for spent, then pos+neg from winnings|P(you don’t win) then Prob you do. P(you dont win) is just the amount of people involved excluding you, ie 39/40. Prob you do is 1/40  
🗑
How do you find expected value #   set up table and plug values into your calculator using 1- var stats. If µ is 0 then its a wash, if it is negative then you lost money, if it is positive you earned money. An insurance would want it to be negative
