Question

The American roulette wheel has 38 divisions, where numbers from 1 to 36, 0 and 00 can be found. Numbers from 1 to 36 are alternately colored in red and black, while the single zero and the double zero are marked in green. The main objective, which any player pursuits, is to predict, which numbered pocket the roulette ball is going to settle into. In order to do that, all players make bets on a particular number, after which the dealer turns the roulette wheel in one direction and spins the roulette ball in the opposite. Once the ball finds its way into the pocket with that particular number, the respective players get paid. All 38 numbers are identically arranged on the wheel, thus, the ball has an equal probability to settle in any of the divisions. What is the probability of the ball settling into an even natural number less than 30 ? *​

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 15/38.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(the ball settling into an even natural number less than 30)= no of outcomes / total no of outcomes= 15/38.
