Jim Holtzhauer is playing the tables at Vegas. He currently has $10,000, which I will denote as 10K in order to keep things simple. He is looking at a bet where with ½ chance he can win 6K while with ½ chance he will lose 2K. Jim's utility of wealth function is given by U(W) = (W) ^2. (U(W) is equal to the W Squared) . Based on this information, you would conclude that:

B) Jim will need to be paid at least 2.65K in order not to accept the gamble.
