In each turn of a game you toss two coins. If 2 heads come up, you win 2 points and if 1 head comes up you win 1 point. If no heads come up, you lose 3 points.What is the expected value of the number of points for each turn?

With two fair coins, the outcomes are HH, HT, TH, and TT, each equally likely. The point values are 2 for HH, 1 for HT and TH, and −3 for TT, so the expected value is (2 + 1 + 1 − 3) ÷ 4 = 0.25 points per turn. Therefore, the correct choice is C, 0.25.
