37 slots on the wheel. 1 chance in 37 of any number coming up. 36-1 against ????
If 37 numbers then (1/37)^4.

If 36 numbers then (1/36)^4.

Of drawing one white ball out of a hat with 35 or 36 blackballs in the hat 4 times in a row and replacing the ball that was drawn into the hat each time.

No??

You're quite right. I've overstated the probability by 0.00000618021%.

Now you can see why I don't work for NASA in a job where I have to calculate the trajectory for landing someone on the moon!

The odds of drawing 1 ball out of a hat containing 37 balls four times in a row is 1,874,160 to 1. No?

Yes, assuming the drawing is random and you always replace the ball after you draw it.
