Solve the problem that involves computing expected values in a game of chance.A numbers game run by many state governments allows a player to select a three-digit number from 000 to 999. There are 1000 such numbers. A bet of $17 is placed on a number. If the number is selected, the player wins $1700. If any other number is selected, the player wins nothing. Find the expected value for the game.
