The answer is 1:18. I just took the statistics quiz and got it wrong due to the other person.

Probability is the chance, likeliness or odds of an event occurring. It can be determined using statistics from sample data. Basically, probability is a part of a whole. It is always expressed in terms of fractions or percentages.

With that being said, I think the probability given in your problem is 1/19. This means that in every 19 bets, you have a chance to win once. If the probability of winning the roulette is 1/19, that means that you have a 1/19 or 5.3% chance of winning. Therefore, the actual odds of winning the roulette is also 1/19.
