Question

If the odds of winning a particular card game are 1:1, about how many times can you expect to win if you play the game eight hundred times? ( with explanation )

Answer 1

400 times

Explanation:

A 1:1 ratio means a 50 50, or half, chance. If you play 800 times, the theoretical probability of winning is 1/2 for all of those times.

800 * 1/2 = 400.

Therefore, you should expect to win 400 times if you play the game 800 times.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any questions :)

Answer 2

400

Explanation:

A 1;1 win loss ratio means you have an equal chance of winning and losing. Therefore, you should win half of the time

800/2 = 400
