A game consists of cutting a shuffled deck of cards and receiving the dollar value of the face value of the card. Jacks are considered to be worth 11, queens 12, kings 12 and aces 1. What is the expectation of this game?

For the second problem,

So find which is the probability of selecting each card. Then multiply it by the value of that card. Do this for each card and sum it up.

Thanks sooooo much!!!

Does anyone get the aspirin one?
