Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

At the local fair there is a game in which folks are betting where a chicken will poop on a 4 by 4-foot grid. (There are 16, 1 by 1 squares to choose from) You can buy a 1 by 1-foot square for $15 and if the chicken poops on your square you win $125. Find the expected value for this game.
