One option in a roulette game is to bet $8 on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments, and 2 compartments that are neither red nor black.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $8 you paid to play the game, and you are awarded $9. If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing, and the $8 that you bet is collected. Write down the probability distribution for the earnings from this type of bet and find
