In the heads scenario, Sleeping Beauty would spend her wager amount one time, and receive 1 money for being correct. In the tails scenario, she would spend her wager amount twice, and receive nothing. Her expected value is therefore to gain 0.5 but also lose 1.5 times her wager, thus she should break even if her wager is 1/3.
Using for heads and for tails, the sample space of a coin is defined as: Ω = { H , T } {\displaystyle \Omega =\{H,T\}} The event space for a coin includes all sets of outcomes from the sample space which can be assigned a probability, which is the full power set 2 Ω {\displaystyle 2^{\Omega }} .
