Your school's basketball team has an equal chance of winning or losing the first three games of the season. You simulate the probability by tossing a coin 60 times, letting heads stand for a win and tails stand for a loss. Use the data below. Find each experimental probability as a percent. HHH THH THT TTH THH HTH THH THH HTH HHH THH TTH THH HTT TTT HTT HHT TTH HTH THH

Can you please help me ?

There are 20 simulations of the results of the first three games. To find the experimental probability of winning the first three games, find the number of times that three heads were obtained and divide that number by 20.

thanks but like i got a question under that and it said P ( win all 3 ) __________ so what do you have to do for that one

OpenStudy (kropot72):

How many times were three heads obtained?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 times only

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Just divide 2 by the number of simulations (20) to find P(win all 3). Don't forget to simplift the result.

OpenStudy (kropot72):

simplify*
