Compute and Interpret Probabilities Using the Classical Method
-In the game of roulette in the United States a wheel has 38 slots: 18 slots are black, 18 slots are red, and 2 slots are green. The $\mathrm { P } ($ Red $) = \frac { 18 } { 38 } \approx 0.47$. This is an example of what type of probability?
A) Classical
B) Empirical
C) Simulated
D) Subjective

The probability is determined by the ratio of favorable outcomes (red slots) to the total number of outcomes (all slots), which is a characteristic of classical probability. This method assumes all outcomes are equally likely.
