Experimental Probability @Vandreigan Check My Answers

OpenStudy (alina123):

1. C 2. A 3. D 4C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1, 3 and 4 are correct. 2, I'm trying to figure out how they want you to approach it (in a real situation, the given information is not nearly enough to answer this question).

OpenStudy (alina123):

i mostly added all them up and took 45 out of 100 simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which I think is the correct approach (since there are 100 people total in the cafeteria). We'd use that as a statistically significant sample of those headed toward the cafeteria, which would make your answer correct.

OpenStudy (alina123):

okay i have another sheet i need you to check.

OpenStudy (alina123):

OpenStudy (alina123):

i got 1 c and 2 and 3 i need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 isn't C. Remember, choosing a box has no effect on the probability for your next box to have a prize. Just like flipping a coin once has no effect on the probability of your next flip to land heads.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, sorry, one sec. EXPERIMENTAL probability. I may have spoken too early.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I did indeed. You are correct.

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok thanks i need help with 2 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, the next question is basically asking "how many of these sets of numbers below only have a single number that is 0 through 5." For instance: 51979 has 2 numbers that are in that range (5 and 1) but 56789 only has one (the 5). How many of those sets of numbers only have one number in that range?

OpenStudy (alina123):

am i finding the numbers that only have 1 digit in that range, or 2, or both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We only care about the ones that have only one number in that range

OpenStudy (alina123):

i found 6 numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6? Which ones? (I know this is kind of a pain to ask, but you found a different number than I did)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll recount, myself, as well.

OpenStudy (alina123):

did you recount?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. I don't get 6.

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok, you know the first column with the 3 numbers there are 0 in the first column

OpenStudy (alina123):

because 0 counts as well

OpenStudy (alina123):

in the digits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

07972 has two numbers that are in the range 0-6

OpenStudy (alina123):

the range we are looking for is 0-5 and you said we need to find only 1 digit from that number so that number doesnt count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The numbers that I see, sorted by row: 56869, 18876 91977, 58678 89579

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And right, 0-5. Typo.

OpenStudy (alina123):

well if you got 5 and i got 6 then i overcounted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which happens (even when you've been doing this awhile!) So, there are 30 total, and we found 5. So what's the probability?

OpenStudy (alina123):

5 out of 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does that reduce to?

OpenStudy (alina123):

1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There ya go :)

OpenStudy (alina123):

i just help with 3 part a

OpenStudy (alina123):

*need*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, we need to know how many of those sets represent 2 boys and a girl. Heads represents a boy. Tails a girl. So you need to count how many combinations have, in any order, two heads and a tails.

OpenStudy (alina123):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't count 9. Count carefully.

OpenStudy (alina123):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which makes our experimental probability what?

OpenStudy (alina123):

4 out of 20

OpenStudy (alina123):

i mean 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, which reduces to?

OpenStudy (alina123):

2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There ya go :)

OpenStudy (alina123):

well just 3 more pages in another post, but thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My pleasure :) Good luck!
