Hana Yu Marisa Jimenez Seehum Isa Efren Rayos Carnival Game Project Rules of the game: Our carnival

game takes a new spin on the classic game involving 3 bottles and throwing balls to try to knock them off. In our game, the participant must stand 5 feet away from a display of 3 plastic bottles stacked in a pyramid fashion and throw a ball to knock them down. If none or some bottles are knocked down, then no prize is given. If the participant knocks down all three bottles, they advance to the next level in which they repeat the activity. If they dont knock down all the bottles in the second level they will receive a small prize. Knocking all 3 bottles in the 2nd level logically takes them to the 3rd level in which they can win a medium prize if they miss some bottles or a large prize if they hit all the bottles. Each round only includes 1 try; if they dont proceed to the next level they must start out from the beginning and pay again. The entrance fee is 5 dollars. Prizes: The prizes include small, medium and large varieties. The small prizes are carnival hats awarded to those who advance to the second level but miss some bottles. Medium prizes include big stuffed animals awarded to participants who make it to the final (3rd) level and miss bottles. Finally the large prizes are life sized bears and other stuffed animals awarded to those who make it to the third level and knock down all animals. The costs are small 3$, medium 6$, large 8$. Reasons game should be selected for carnival: Our game would attract many people because of the inclusion of rules such as only allowing one try per entrance fee and the concept of levels. This brings an element of risk and strategy to a game that was previously just simple logic. The level scheme will also attract younger generations who might see parallel between video games and our carnival game. Expenses: Expenses for our game include cost of bottles and balls, and the cost of the prizes. The bottles would cost 2 dollars and wed purchase nine to have 3 games occurring simultaneously. This equals 18 dollars for the cost of the bottles. The price of the balls would be 22 dollars for a box of 24 balls. This would equal 40 dollars overall so far. Then the cost of prizes would be 3 dollars per small prizes and 40 would be purchased (120$), 6 dollars for medium prized and 20 would be purchased (120$), 8$ for large prizes and 15 would be purchased ($120). Broken down the total looks like this 18$ (bottles) + 22$ (balls) + 120$ (small prizes) + 120$ (medium prizes) + 120$ (large prizes) = 400$. Experimental and theoretical probability: 1/8th is theoretical probability determined by a probability tree. Experimental probability is ___________ Expected payoff: Were charging 5 dollars per try and we are expecting at least (about) 100 customers. This would equal 500 dollars (5*100=500). Profit: Profit is calculated by subtracting expenses from expected pay off. In our case its 500$ dollars as our expected payoff (500) minus our expenses (400) equals $100.00 for our profit.
