Ok. What's question 4? and what's i?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i confused?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry it has to be 1 green nnumber

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) 18/37 is not 1/2. b) 740*18/37 is the expected # of spins that result in a black number. c). what zero? 0o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a, because there is 1 green number, it throws the equation off balance, so 18/37 does not equal 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c) 740 times 18/37= 360
