Question

A roulette wheel has 38 slots total, 36 of which are numbered 1 through 36, and 2 green slots labeled "0" and "00." For any spin of the wheel, what is the probability of the roulette ball NOT landing on red?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 10 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of total slots = 38

Number of red slots = 18

Number of black slots = 18

Number of green slots = 2

Find:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red)

Computation:

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 1 - Probability (Roulette ball landing on red)

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 1 - (18 / 38)

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 20 / 38

Probability (Roulette ball not landing on red) = 10 / 19
