The standard deviation of Strategy 2 is smaller than that of Strategy 1, soStrategy 2 is better than Strategy 1. Criteria Two: The maximum value of X In Strategy 1, the customer could win as much as $32 in the four consecutive rolls, while in Strategy 2, one could win at most $1. Hence Strategy 1 is more attractive in this
