Question

Ahmed buys two dozen eggs. As he is cooking one day he discovers that three of the two dozen eggs have double yolks! Based on this experiment, what is the experimental probability of selecting a double yolk egg from a pack of eggs? @jgirl128

Answer 1

Well, if he has 24 eggs, and 3 of those 24 eggs have more than one yolk, how would you write it out as a fraction?

Answer 2

there's three double yolk eggs and there's 24 eggs. you would write this as 3/24. now what is 3/24 simplified?

Answer 3

3/24 so is it 1/8?

Answer 4

that's correct!

Answer 5

YAY

Answer 6

I need it as a percent

Answer 7

divide the denominator into the numerator

Answer 8

no i though you do top devided by bottom

Answer 9

The numerator is the top correct?

Answer 10

yup

Answer 11

you would have to divide 1 by 8

Answer 12

what's 1 divided by 8?

Answer 13

.125

Answer 14

good, now to convert the decimal to a percentage, you have to move the decimal point two places to the right

Answer 15

so that would be...

Answer 16

12.5%?

Answer 17

yup! :)

Answer 18

good job

Answer 19

do you understand now?

Answer 20

Yes. Thanks again, :)

Answer 21

no problem :)

Answer 22

Michael and Lincoln race home from school each day. Lincoln won on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but Michael beat him on Thursday. What is the experimental probability that Michael will beat Lincoln home again on Friday? I need help again :)

Answer 23

they raced home 4 days in a row. he won 1 race out of 4 so the chances of him winning again 4 to 1. so as a fraction that would 1/4

Answer 24

whats 1/4 of 100?

Answer 25

25

Answer 26

so michael has a 25% chance of beating lincoln again

Answer 27
