Answer 1

Answer:

We have 47% of chances to win those six bucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to find the probabilty of winning thos $6.

According to the problem, we win $6 if we hit one red. We know that there are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments and 2 neither red nor blakc, for a total of 38 compartments.

We need to use the standard probabilty definition which is the ratio between the number of events and the total number of outcomes. So,

$P=\frac{18}{38} \approx 0.47$

Which is equivalent to 47% of chances.

Therefore, we have 47% of chances to win those six bucks. (The Casino has the odds in their favor)
