PLZ HELP :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know what experimental probability is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is not like favorable outcomes/ total #

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the ratio of a time of an event

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its result/total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many times was silver pulled out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many times did we pull out any coin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the experimental probability of pulling out silver is 11/70

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the theoretical probability of pulling out silver?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: look at the first column

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.36?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

theoretical probability of pulling out silver = 1/10 since we have 1 actual silver coin out of 10 coins total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the idea is this: with a lot of trials, the experimental probability should get closer and closer to the theoretical probability

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

11/70 isn't equal to 1/10, but if you keep doing more trials, the experimental probability should get closer and closer to the theoretical probability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are we doing it by the questions from problem??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 From the letter A question it says express it as a percent LZ HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Theoretical probability of drawing the silver coin is 1/10. You need a percentage, however, which means it has to be out of one hundred. So add a zero to each number. 1/10 become 10/100, which means you have 10% chance of drawing the silver coin. I haven't done this in a while and I honestly am not really sure this is correct. Using logic, though, it appears correct. I hope you get it right?
