One option in a roulette game is to bet $ 6

on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments, and two compartments that are neither red nor black.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $ 6

you paid to play the game and you are awarded $ 6

.

If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing and the $ 6

that you bet is collected

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to find the probabilty of winning thos $6.

According to the problem, we win $6 if we hit one red. We know that there are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments and 2 neither red nor blakc, for a total of 38 compartments.

We need to use the standard probabilty definition which is the ratio between the number of events and the total number of outcomes. So,

Which is equivalent to 47% of chances.

Therefore, we have 47% of chances to win those six bucks. (The Casino has the odds in their favor)
