Question

A slot machine consists of 3 reels, and each real consists of 32 stops. To win the jackpot of $10,000, a player must get a wild symbol on the center line of each reel. If each reel has two wild symbols, find the probability of winning the jackpot. A. 1/32,768 B. 1/16 C. 1/4,096 D. 6/32,768

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C

Explanation:

The probability of getting wild symbol on one reel
`= (2)/(32) \\= (1)/(16)\\`

The probability of getting wild symbol on all three reels
`= (1)/(16) * (1)/(16) * (1)/(16) \\= (1)/(4096) \\`

Answer 2

2 wild symbols on each reel

each reel has 32 stops so you have a 2/32 reduced to 1/16 probability of getting a wild symbol on each reel

1/16 * 1/16 *1/16 = 1 /4096 probability

Answer is C
