A: $\"10%2F18=5%2F9\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C: No. It is highly unlikely that the experimental probabilities will remain the same. If this is a purely random game, and the nature of the game is such that the expected probability of success is equal for each of the participants, the experimental probabilities will tend to approach $\"1%2F2\"$ for each of the participants as the total number of games increases (or perhaps some other proportion if the odds of the game are skewed toward one of the players or the other). On the other hand, if there are elements of skill in the game, the likelihood is that one player or the other will develop their skill at a more rapid pace than the other. Hence, the experimental probabilities will become skewed more in favor of the faster learner. \n" ); document.write( "
