Abe is a game show contestant and is offered a choice. He may accept $500 cash or take a chance at playing a game where he could win $10,000. The game consists of drawing two slips of paper from a hat, without replacement. The hat contains 10 slips of paper numbered with consecutive multiples of 5, beginning with 5 and ending with 50. If both slips of paper selected are less than 20, Abe wins $10,000. If Abe opts to play the game and loses, he does not receive any money at all. Which statement correctly explains the choice Abe should make to win the most money? A.) Abe should not accept the $500 and play the game. The mathematical expectation of the game is $666.67.
B.) Abe should accept the $500 and not play the game. The mathematical expectation of the game is $666.67.
C.) Abe should accept the $500 and not play the game. The mathematical expectation of the game is $1333.33.
D.) Abe should not accept the $500 and play the game. The mathematical expectation of the game is $1333.33.
