Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{18}{38} \approx \bold{0.47}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total number of slots = 38
0 and 00 are green.
Remaining number of slots = 38 - 2 = 36
18 of the 36 slots are colored red.
Rest number of slots = 36 - 18 = 18, are colored black.
The wheel spins once.
To find:
Probability that the ball stops on red.
Solution:
Formula for probability of an event E is given as:
[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]
Here, number of favorable cases is equal to the number of red slots.
Number of red slots = 18
Total number of cases = 38
[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{18}{38} \approx \bold{0.47}[/tex]
