Assume that the observance of any one pocket is just as likely as any other. ,36, and the remaining two are marked 0 and 00. The wheel is spun, and a pocket is identified as (a) Identify the simple events in a single spin of the roulette wheel. How many simple events are in the sample space? simple events (b) Assign probabilities to the simple events. (Enter your probability as a fraction.) Since any pocket is just as likely as any other, P(E) Let A be the event that you observe either a 0 or a 00. List the simple events in the event A. How many simple events does event A contain? (c) simple events Find P(A). (Enter your probability as a fraction.) PCA) = (d) Suppose you placed bets on the numbers 1 through 22. What is the probability that one of your numbers is the winner? (Enter your probability as a fraction.)Explanation / Answer
a) 38 , as the number of pockets that can be winners
