A roulette wheel has 383838 slots, of which 181818 are red, 181818 are black, and 222 are green. In each round of the game, a ball is tossed in the spinning wheel and lands in a random slot. Suppose we watch 777 rounds of this game, and let RRR represent the number of rounds where the ball lands in a red slot.

Answer:

Of the 777 rounds of the game in about 368 the ball will land in a red slot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a roulette wheel has 383838 slots, of which 181818 are red, 181818 are black, and 222 are green, and in each round of the game, a ball is tossed in the spinning wheel and lands in a random slot, supposing we watch 777 rounds of this game, to determine the approximate number of rounds where the ball lands in a red slot, the following calculation must be performed:

383838 = 100

181818 = X

181818 x 100/383838 = X

18,181,800 / 383838 = X

47.3684 = X

100 = 777

47.3684 = X

47.3684 x 777/100 = X

36,805.24 / 100 = X

368.05 = X

Therefore, of the 777 rounds of the game in about 368 the ball will land in a red slot.
