Question

A special roulette​ wheel, which has an equal number of red and black​ spots, has come up red four times in a row. Assuming the roulette wheel is​ fair, what concept allows a player to know that the probability of the next spin of the wheel will come up black is​ 0.5? Choose the correct answer below. A. dependent events B. mutually exclusive events

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The basic reasoning indicates that in roulette you can only get red or black in an instant (one time), then every time you turn the wheel, the probability of getting red or black is (0.5) 50% due to which they are mutually exclusive events.
