Ryan is a huge college basketball fan and prior to the start of the NCAA tournament he decides to figure out the odds that his team will win the entire tournament and therefore, the championship. He finds that the odds that his team will win the entire tournament is 1:9. What is the probability that his team wins the championship?   Make sure to write your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was  then you would type in 0.31. 

Suppose you roll a standard 6-sided die one time. What is the probability that you would roll an odd number? Recall that the sample space for this scenario would be .   Make sure to type in your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 0.12345 then you would type in 0.12. 

Some believe that Captain America can run the fastest mile of any person alive. In order to test this theory, Captain America decided to run the mile multiple times and record how long it took him (in seconds) to run each one. He decided to attempt running the mile 40 times and determine his average mile time. Let’s assume his true mean mile time was 138 seconds with a standard deviation of 16 seconds. Use this information to find the following probability.  What is the probability that his average mile time would be between 136 and 141 seconds?   Make sure to round your final answer to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 0.123456 then you would type in 0.123.
