2.2 Roulette wheel: The game of roulette involves spinning a wheel with 38 slots: 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. A ball is spun onto the wheel and will eventually land in a slot, where each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball. a) You watch a roulette wheel spin 4 consecutive times and the ball lands on a red slot each time. What is the probability that the ball will land on a red slot on the next spin

Respuesta :

Answer:

9/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of slots  =38

red balls R  = 38, black balls B = 18, green balls G = 2

we want to calculate

P( Red ball/ previous 4 spins are red) = P( red ball)       [because each spin is independent to other]

= 18/38 = 9/19
