Consider a game in which players draw one card at a time from a standard 52-card deck. if a player draws a face card (jack, queen, or king) the player is awarded 16 points. any other card drawn earns the player 3 points. what is the expected value of drawing a car in the game on the first turn?

Face cards = jack, queen, king
52-card decks

4 decks * 3 face cards = 12 face cards

Probability of face cards = 12/52
Probability of non face cards = 40/52

Value of a face card = 16
value of a non-face card = 3

Expected value = (12/52 * 16) + (40/52 * 3) 
EV = 192/52 + 120/52 
EV = 312/52
EV = 6

The expected value of drawing a card in the game on the first turn is 6.

2x+10=36. x being the number of friends.
