Read the attached document (First). Do the following:

b) You won on Tuesday. What is the probability of winning on Wednesday?

c) You did not win on Tuesday. What is the probability of winning on Wednesday?

2) Most people may not know the fact that the probability has no memories. That’s why so many gamblers keep playing on a particular machine hoping that after a long losing string, the machine would recognize that now it’s time to pay off, and thinking eventually they begin winning. And that could be a costly mistake. That is my comment on this article.
