You decide to play roulette 4 times, each time betting on red. What is the distribution of X, the number of times you win?

1 answer:

3 0

1.
If betting on red, 18/38 = 9/19 chance of winning, so 10/19 chance of losing
Chance of winning 4 times: (9/19)^4 = 6561/130321 =~ 5.034%
Chance of winning 3 times: (9/19)^3 * (10/19) * C(4,1) = 29160/130321 =~ 22.3755%
Chance of winning 2 times: (9/19)^2 * (10/19)^2 * C(4,2) = 48600/130321 =~ 37.2925%
Chance of winning 1 time: (9/19) * (10/19)^3 * C(4,3) = 36000/130321 =~ 27.624%
Chance of winning 0 times: (10/39)^4 = 10000/130321 =~ 76.7336%
