Question Description
Unit Project: Spinner Games
Review the requirements for completing the Graded Assignment.
Goals
You will be faced with many situations involving uncertainty throughout your life, and many of those situations will involve money. Whether you are choosing to buy an insurance policy, a warranty on a printer, or a chance to win a stuffed teddy bear in a spinner game, it is important that you understand the mathematics behind these costs.
During this unit, you will design two spinner games.
First you’ll learn about spinner games and choose the prizes. Then you’ll use expected values to design your games to make a profit and simulate playing those games to see if they make the profit amount you expected.
