Statistics problem!?
Question by por_ti_a_17: Statistics problem!?
A man has time to play roulette wheel at most five times. At each play he either wins or loses .00. The man begins with .00 and will stop playing before the five times if he loses all his money or if he wins an additional .00 (i.e. if he accumulates a total .00). Draw a tree diagram to show all possibilities.

OK – so what are all the possible things that he could do?
- win – win – win – win (stops at )
- win – win – win – lose – win
- win – win – lose – win – win
- win – lose – win – win – win
- lose (loses all his money – stops)
- win – win – lose – lose (stops)
- win – lose – win – win – lose
…. you need to draw a tree diagram showing each possibility. At start at the left and show each of the 5 turns. What happens?
