During one holiday season, the Texas lottery played a game called the Stocking Stuffer. With this game, total instant winnings of $34.8 million were available in 70 million $1 tickets, with ticket prizes ranging from $1 to $1,000. Shown here are the various prizes and the probability of winning each prize. Use these data to compute the expected value of the game, the variance of the game, and the standard deviation of the game.



                                    Prize (x)                       Probability P(x)



                                    $1,000                         .00002



                                    100                              .00063



                                    20                                .00601



                                    10                                .02403



                                    4                                  .02403



                                    2                                  .08877
