C) throws of dice that turn up four dots

D) throws of a two-sided coin that produce heads

Answer 2

Im not really sure to be honest its a new question from what weve been going over... the wording is different

Answer 5

Not really sure man... its new to me

Answer 6

Okie dokie, what does your book say it is?

Answer 7

let me look 1 sec

Answer 8

No problem, take your time : )

Answer 9

-The tendency of experimental probability to approach theoretical probability as the number of trials gets very large

Answer 10

Now which of the examples given gives the impression of "repeated trials/events?"

Answer 11

Probably d would be the most consistent well repeated.

Answer 12

True, but what is the probability (or the expected probability) of getting a heads when tossing a coin?

Answer 13

1/2

Answer 14

Oi see now it would be the b cause it is 4/10=.4 just like the graph.

Answer 15

Yup yup, 1/2 = 0.5 so it can't be our answer. We've eliminated D, now lets look at options A, B, and C. Which one do you think would make a good candidate?

Answer 16

dice would be 1/6 so not c

Answer 17

card is 4/52=2/25 so not A either.....So it has to be B correct?

Answer 18

Looks good to me : )
