Question 1044017: A roulette wheel has 38 slots around the rim. The first 36 slots are numbers from 1 to 36. Half of these 36 slots are red, and the other half are black. The remaining 2 slots are numbered 0 and 00 and are green. If the roulette wheel is spun 266 times, predict about how many times the ball will land on 6 or 29.

There are 2 slots that have a "6" or a "29" on them. The other 36 slots have different numbers.
The probability of landing on "6" or "29" is 2/38 = 1/19
Multiply this probability by the number of trials to get 266*(1/19) = 14
So we expect the ball will land on 6 or 29 about 14 times
