When you multiply 2 irrational numbers, the result is always irrational. This applies to squaring as well since it is still multiplying irrational numbers together (though the terms are the same)

Final answer: never rational

In the game of​ roulette, a player can place a ​$5 bet on the number 3 and have a startfraction 1 over 38 endfraction probabilit
Misha Larkins [42]
The expected value per game is -0.26.  Over 1000 games, you can expect to lose $263.16.

To find the expected value, we multiply the probability of winning by the amount of winnings, the probability of losing by the amount of loss, and adding those together.

We have a 1/38 chance of winning; 1/38(175) = $4.61.  We also have a 37/38 chance of losing; 37/38(5) = $4.87.

$4.61-$4.87 = -$0.26 (rounded)

To five decimal places, our answer is -0.26136; multiplied by 1000 games, this is $261.36 lost.

Make a fraction with the width on top and the length on the bottom:

Both numbers are even and can be divided by 2,

so the simplified fraction becomes 22/35
