Kenley · Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic reasoning indicates that in roulette you can only get red or black in an instant (one time), then every time you turn the wheel, the probability of getting red or black is (0.5) 50% due to which they are mutually exclusive events.
