Question

A modified roulette wheel has 36 slots. One slot is​ 0, another is​ 00, and the others are numbered 1 through 34​, respectively. You are placing a bet that the outcome is an even number.​ (In roulette, 0 and 00 are neither odd nor​ even.) a. What is your probability of​ winning?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(win) = 0.4722$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 36$ --- slots

$Even = 17$ i.e. even numbers between 1 and 34 (inclusive)

Required

$P(win)$

The probabiity of winning is the number of even numbers divided by the total slot;

i.e.

$P(win) = \frac{Even}{n}$

So, we have:

$P(win) = \frac{17}{36}$

$P(win) = 0.4722$
