Exercise 11

Avg difficulty 2.5

At the local fair there is a game in which folks are betting where a chicken will poop on a 5 by 5-foot grid. (There are 25, 1 by 1 squares to choose from) You can buy a 1 by 1-foot square for $10 and if the chicken poops on your square you win $100. Find the expected value for this game.
