8. A game-design team created a game that involved spinning a large wheel that has different color sections. The results of the game show that the chance of winning greater than $500 is 40%. The probability of landing on red under the condition that they won greater than $500 is 0.25. What is the probability that someone randomly lands on red and wins $500? $P(win \text{ } over \text{ } 500) = .4$ $P(Red \mid win \text{ } over \text{ } 500) = .25$ $= \frac{P(red \text{ } and \text{ } wins \text{ } over \text{ } 500)}{.4}$ $.25 = \frac{x}{.4}$ $x = .10$ The probability someone wins less than $500 or lands on red is 70% 30% of the wheel consists of

A game involves spinning a wheel with area divided into four colors: 15% of the area is red, 40% of the area is blue, 25% is yellow, and 20% is white. Assume that the probability that a wheel lands on a particular color is equal to the area of the color. If the wheel is spun one time, what is the probability that it will land on either yellow or white?

A carnival game consists of spinning a wheel with 10 slots, nine red and one blue. If you land on the blue slot, you win a prize. Suppose your significant other really wants that prize, so you will play until you win. (a) What is the probability you'll win on the first spin? (b) What is the probability you'll require exactly 5 spins? At least 5 spins? At most five spins? (c) What is the expected number of spins required for you to win the prize, and what is the corresponding standard deviation?
