$0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total colored chips  in the bottle= 20

No. of blue chips = 2

Probability of getting blue chip=

No.of red chips = 7

Probability of getting green chip or red chip=

Price for green or red chip = 0

Amount you paid to play the game = $2

Then , the expected value of playing the game will be :-

Hence, the expected value of playing the game = $0
