This question relates to "Gambler's Fallacy". For the sake of this question, please assume that by using basic strategy that the probability of winning any single hand of Blackjack is almost 50/50. In this scenario, I know that the outcome of any single hand is unrelated to the outcome of the series of hands that preceded it. However, can a single desired outcome be predicted over a series of future hands? If I am not mistaken, the odds of ALL the player's hands being losses over a future series looks something like this:

(1) Hand: 50/50 (0.5)
(2) Hands: 75/25 (0.25)
(3) Hands: 87/13 (0.125)
(4) Hands: 94/06 (0.0625)
(5) Hands: 97/03 (0.03125)
Etc....

If this is true, might one conclude that the probability of winning at least ONE hand in the next four consecutive hands, for example, is about 93%?

If this is also fallacious thinking, please explain.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong with these problems? I need it step by step please. Also, I asked this somewhere else, but both the answers that I got were wrong, so if your not sure, please don't answer. Thank you!

A concentrated HCl solution is 12.0 M. You have to make 300 ml of 0.600 M solution. How would you prepare it?

I worked it this way, which is the way the book tells us, but obviously get the wrong answer every time.
12.0 M x V1= 0.600 M x .300 L/ 12.0 M=

A concentrated solution of 15% w/v KOH solution is available. How would you prepare 20.0 ml of a 0.10% w/v KOH solution.

I worked this one (%1)V1=(%2)V2, by saying
(15%)V1=(.10%)(.200L)/ 15%
again the answer I get is wrong.
Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong with these problems? Thanks so much!
