A student kept track of the prizes won in a contest over several months. What is the probability that someone who won a prize won an audio player in this contest? A. The experimental probability is 0.8%. B. The experimental probability is 8%. C. The theoretical probability is 0.8%. D. The theoretical probability is 8%.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

divide the number of people who won the audio device by the total number of winners, then convert it to a percentage. Considering we are supposed to imagine that this actually happened, do you think it should be "theoretical" or "experimental"?

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

I think it should be experimental.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

correct

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

I need help i did the dividing thing and got 119 and then turned it into decimal and got 1.19 so now what.

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

@TuringTest

OpenStudy (turingtest):

how did you get 119?

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

I divided 238 by 2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you want to divide the number who won an audio device by the total number of winners

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

thats what i did 238 is total and 2 people won the audio device so 238 dived by 2 = 119

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

Oh ops.

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

I got 0.008

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

which would be 8%

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

So my answer is B. because 0.008 converted in to percent is 8%

OpenStudy (turingtest):

is it?

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

I think so because i just calculated it so i think its right.

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

nvm its A 0.8
