A spinner with 4 equal areas, colored -red, white, blue, and green, is 75 spun times. What is the probability of the spinner landing on white the 76th time?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the spinner has no memory - it does not remember what it landed on in the past

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the probability for landing on white for the 76th time or a millionth time would be same

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since you have four colors, the probability for landing on any one color would be 1/4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes more or less sense...
