Christina's department store offers a mailing "scratch a winner - discount savings." After customers select the items they wish to purchase, they scratch their discount sticker from the mailing to determine the discount they will receive. The scratch wheel is divided into 12 slices. Six slices are red and award a 10% discount, three slices are white and award a 20% discount, and two slices are blue and award a 40% discount. The remaining slice is gold and awards a 100% discount if the customer scratches that slice

Suppose you visit Christina's department store in the hopes of getting a 100% discount on your purchases. As you wait your turn in line, there are three gold winners in a row. The two customers in line behind you begin to discuss what's happened. One believes that the streak of three gold 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. Comment on these opinions
