PLEASE HELP ME ASAP WITH THIS PRBLEM!!!

In the game of roulette, the probability of winning when the betting on a color is 0.474. Assume the game is played 100 times.

a.) what is the mean of the sampling distribution of the proprtion?

b) what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the proportion?

c) what is the probability that you would win more than 50% of the time if you play 100 times?

d) what is the probability that you would win less than 40% of the time if you played 100 times?

I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS SINCE MOST OF THE FORMULAS I HAVE LEARNT DON'T APPLY TO SUCH LITTLE INFORMATION GIVEN. SO IF YOU COULD EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PROBLEM, I COULD PROBABLY FIGURE OUT THE REST. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

c. and d. are binomial probability problems with number of trials 100, p=.474 and number of successes found by your win %.

a and b ?? i don't know, if that is all that is given go ask the instructor.

cheers
