You play a game of chance. You draw a card from a 52-card deck. You continue to draw until you have drawn a king (you win), or till you have drawn five cards (you lose if no kings among those 5 cards). Draw a trec diagram that illustrates the expcriment. Put the appropriate probabilities on the tree. Find the probability that you win before the fourth draw.
When playing games of chance like roulette, people often say that a particular outcome is due, implying that one income is more likely because it has not happened in a while. This is fallacy because in these examples of outcome of each trial is: a. independent b. dependent c. subjective d. interrelative
