A game involves selecting cards from a deck that has many colors, but there are only 5 red cards out of 30 possible cards. The game starts by choosing 3 cards at random. The house pays $12 for each red card you select. What price should you pay to make this a fair game?

Do you understand mathematically - what is meant by fair game?
