Also:

A gambler bets on a split in roulette (see Problem 2 on page 284). The gambler wins 17 dollars if either number in the split comes up, and loses one dollar otherwise.
  - What is the gambler's expected winnings from one play?
  - What is the gambler's expected winnings from 100 plays?
  - What is the standard deviation for the winnings from one play?
  - What is the standard error for the winnings from 100 plays?

Answers:

  - $\mu = -\frac{1}{19}$
  - $100 \times \mu = -\frac{100}{19} = -5.263$
  - $\sigma = 4.019$
  - $\sqrt{100} \times \sigma = 40.19$
