  • Your answer should match our answer from Thursday's class when we did this "the short way" 
  • Question:
    • Suppose we play roulette 4 times...
    • What is the probability that the 4 spins are not all red?
      • This means we could have 0 red, 1 red, 2 red, or 3 red (just not all 4 red)
    • Your challenge:
      • Calculate the probability of 0 red, exactly 1 red, exactly 2 red, 3 red
      • Add these for the probability that our 4 spins are "not all red"
      • Answer should = 0.94966

Tomorrow in class we'll get into some of the vocabulary and concepts you read about in the textbook....see you there!
