Question 1. Gatto's Mini Casino has three slot machines. Two of the machines are working correctly: you win 50% of the time. However, the third machine is broken: you win only 20% of the time. The machines look identical from the outside, so you cannot tell which one is broken. (a) Joannie picks one of the machines uniformly at random. What is the probability of winning if she plays the game once? If instead she plays the game twice (on the same machine), what is the probability she wins both games? (b) Suppose Joannie sits picks one of the machines uniformly and plays it twice. If she wins both times (lucky!), What is the probability that Joannie's machine is the broken machine? (c) Now suppose that if you play the game and win, you get a payout of $10; otherwise you win nothing. Suppose that Joannie chooses one of the slot machines uniformly at random and then plays the game twice on that machine. What is Joannie's expected payout?

Roulette American roulette is a game in which a wheel turns on a spindle and is divided into 38 pockets. Thirty-six of the pockets are numbered 1-36, of which half are red and half are black. Two of the pockets are green and are numbered 0 and 00 (see figure). The dealer spins the wheel and a small ball in opposite directions. As the ball slows to a stop, it has an equal probability of landing in any of the numbered pockets. (a) Find the probability of landing in the number 00 pocket. (b) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket. (c) Find the probability of landing in a green pocket or a black pocket. (d) Find the probability of landing in the number 14 pocket on two consecutive spins. (e) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket on three consecutive spins.
Dividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an 8,000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning and that of B winning if the game were to continue? The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.
