Discussion 4

For module 2’s discussion posting. Read the scenario below 

Suppose you visit a store that is offering a discount to customers based on spinning a wheel. The wheel is divided into 12 slices. Six slices award a 10% discount, three slices award a 20% discount, two slices award a 40% discount, and one slice worth a 100% discount.   

As you wait your turn in line, there are three winners in a row that received a 100% discount after spinning the wheel. The two customers in line behind you begin to discuss what’s happened. One believes that the streak of three winners has killed anyone else’s chances of getting a 100% discount, while the other says just the opposite… that the wheel’s “hot streak” increases their chances of getting a 100% discount.
