A gambler plays a game 50 times. In each game, the expected gain is \(\mu=-0.5\) dollars and the standard deviation is \(\sigma=2\) dollars. Let \(S_{50}\) be the total gain after 50 independent games.
  1. Calculate the expected total gain \(E(S_{50})\) (round to 1 decimal place).
    \(E(S_{50})=\)
  2. Calculate the standard deviation \(\sigma(S_{50})\) (round to 2 decimal places).
    \(\sigma(S_{50})=\)
