To illustrate, `profitableGamble(0.2, 50, 9)` should yield `true`, since the net profit is 1 (0.2 * 50 - 9), and 1 > 0. ### Examples ``` profitableGamble(0.2, 50, 9) ➞ true profitableGamble(0.9, 1, 2) ➞ false profitableGamble(0.9, 3, 2) ➞ true ``` ### Notes A profitable gamble is a game that yields a positive net profit, where net profit is calculated in the following manner: net_outcome = probability_of_winning * prize - cost_of_playing.
