Question 1028473: Roulette wheels in Las Vegas have 38 pockets. They are all numbered 0, 00, and 1 through 36. Of all 38 pockets, there are 18 red, 18 are black, and 2 are green. Each time the wheel is spun, a ball lands in one of the pockets, and each pocket is equally likely.
If you spin the wheel three times, what is the probability that the ball lands in the same pocket in all three spins?

For one spin,
P=1%2F38
So for three spins,
P=%281%2F38%29%281%2F38%29%281%2F38%29
P=1%2F54872
