(b) Interpret this probability Choose the correct answer below: A. If 1,000 high school students were sampled, it would be expected that about ____ of them play organized sports. B. If 1,000 high school students were sampled, it would be expected that exactly ____ of them play organized sports.

In a certain game of chance, a wheel consists of 58 slots numbered 00, 0, 1, 2, ...., 56. To play the game, a metal ball is spun around the wheel and is allowed to fall into one of the numbered slots. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) determine the sample space. (b) determine the probability that the metal ball falls into the slot marked 4. Interpret this probability. A. if the wheel is spun 1,000 times, it is expected that about ___ of those times result in the ball landing in slot 4. B. if the wheel is spun 1,000 times, it is expected that exactly ____ of those times result in the ball not landing in slot 4. (c) determine the probability that the metal ball lands in an odd slot.

(a) {00,0,1,2,...,56} (b) 0.0172; A - 17 (c) 0.4828
