I have this code to simulate a wheel from the Price is right, but I need a table that displays "Contestant 1 Spin vs. Probability of Winning", but the actual numbers do not line up properly underneath my header. If anyone could let me know how to fix this I would appreciate it.

Use fprintf instead of disp
ThePriceisRightWheel

fprintf('Contestant 1 Spin vs. Probability of Winning\n')
fprintf('\t%3d\t\t\t%.4f\n',[Contestant1Spins' Probability'].');
end
An even better optioon is to use array2table.
