Roulette. A success, s, in Bernoulli trials is often derived from a collection of outcomes. For example, an American roulette wheel consists of 38 numbers, of which 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green. When the roulette wheel is spun, the ball is equally likely to land on any one of the 38 numbers. If you are interested in which number the ball lands on, each play at the roulette wheel has 38 possible outcomes. Suppose, however, that you are betting on red. Then you are interested only in whether the ball lands on a red number. From this point of view, each play at the wheel has only two possible outcomes—either the ball lands on a red number or it doesn’t. Hence, successive bets on red constitute a sequence of Bernoulli trials with success

- Answer the following questions. 3. When given two separate events, how do we know whether to apply the Addition Principle or the Multiplication Principle when calculating possible outcomes? What conjunctions may help to determine which operations to use?arrow_forwardThe following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers. Where will you stand the best chance?arrow_forward
