In the gambling game roulette, a ball is dropped onto a revolving wheel that has 38 numbered slots: the numbers 1 - 36, a zero, and a double zero. There are 18 red slots, 18 black slots, and 2 green slots (see the figure below). Consider the random experiment of dropping the ball onto the wheel once. Type a simplified fraction for each answer. a) What the probability that the ball will land on 15? P(15) = b) What the probability that the ball will land on a red slot? P(red) = c) What the probability that the ball will land on a green slot? P(green) = d) What the probability that the ball will NOT land on a green slot? P(NOT green) =

You will analyze the gambling game roulette in which a ball is dropped into a revolving wheel that has 38 numbered slots: the numbers 1-36, a zero, and a double zero. There are 18 red slots, 18 black slots, and 2 green slots:
Red: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36
Black: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35
Green: 0, 00
Consider the random experiment of dropping the ball into the wheel once. When finding a probability, write it in fraction form or 3 decimal places.
a) P (9)
b) P (odd)
c) P (not red)
d) P (red OR green)
e) P (black AND at most 9)
f) P (red OR at least 26)
