A special roulette wheel, which has an equal number of red and black spots, has come up red four times in a row. Assuming that the roulette wheel is fair, what concept allows a player to know that the probability the next spin of the wheel will come up black is 0.5?

Concept of independent events
Concept of mutually exclusive events
Concept of dependent events
Concept of mutually inclusive events

Answer :

Answer:

Concept of independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a special roulette wheel, which has an equal number of red and black spots, has come up red four times in a row.

We can assume that the roulette wheel is fair

We find that each time the result of a spin is independent of all the previous ones.

In other words, each spin result will not be affected by how many red or other got in the previous spins.

Mutually exclusive events are disjoint events so not right here.  Dependent is wrong because here independent.

So the concept here is

Concept of independent events
