Jake tossed a paper cup 50 times and recorded how it landed. The table shows the results:

Land in Position 3 7 40
Based on the table, determine the experimental probability of each outcome (landing open side up, landing closed side up, and landing on its side). Show your work.

divide each number by \(50\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 divided by 50 = .06
OpenStudy (misty1212):
then if you like you can turn it in to a percent
not sure how the answer is supposed to look
for example
\[\frac{3}{50}=\frac{6}{100}=6\%\]

7 divided by 50 - .14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misty1212):
