Consider a game in which you draw playing cards from a standard 52-card deck, one at a time. If a player draws a face card (a jack, a queen, or a king), the player is awarded 10 points. Any other card drawn costs the player 3 points. What is the expected value of drawing a card in this game? A. 0 points B. 3 points C. 6.5 points D. 10 points I'm not sure if I'm going crazy but I did the P(face card)*V(face card) + P(nonface card)*V(Nonface card) which was (12/52)(10)+(40/52)*3 ~ 4.6153 which isn't even close to one of the answers Please help.
