Answer 24

In this experiment, you will be using two coins as a simulation for a real-world compound event.
Suppose that a family has an equally likely chance of having a cat or a dog. If they have two pets, they could have 1 dog and 1 cat, they could have 2 dogs, or they could have 2 cats.
1. What is the theoretical probability that the family has two dogs or two cats?
I say that "heads, heads" is equal to having 2 cats; and "tails, tails" is equal to having 2 dogs. Since I say that, the
theoretical probability of having 2 cats is 9/50 and the theoretical probability of having 2 dogs is 11/50.

2. Describe how to use two coins to simulate which two pets the family has.

3. Flip both coins 50 times and record your data in a table like the one below.
Result Frequency
Heads, Heads  9
Heads, Tails  14
Tails, Heads  16
Tails, Tails  11
Total 50

4. Based on your data, what is the experimental probability that the family has two dogs or two cats?
I say that "heads, heads" is equal to having 2 cats; and "tails, tails" is equal to having 2 dogs. Since I say that, the experimental probability will be for 2 cats:
9/50, divide them to get the decimal, you get 0.18. Multiply this by 100 and you get 18%.
For 2 dogs:
11/50, divide them to get the decimal and you get 0.22. Multiply it by 100 and you get 22%.
So then the experimental probability for the family to have two cats is 18% and for 2 dogs its 22%.
5. If the family has three pets, what is the theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats?
I say that "heads, heads" is equal to having 3 cats; and "tails, tails" is equal to having 3 dogs. Since I say that, the theoretical probability of having 3 cats is 9/50 and the theoretical probability of having 3 dogs is 11/50.
6. How could you change the simulation to generate data for three pets?

Answer 25

i need help with #6 first pls

Answer 26

u there @sleepyjess

Answer 27

??

Answer 28

What do you think?

Answer 29

i REALLY have NO IDEA

Answer 30

idk

Answer 31

im not sure can u help me sleepyjess pls???

Answer 32

If there are 2 coins for 2 pets, there would be _ coins for 3 pets

Answer 33

3?

Answer 34

Yep

Answer 35

:) what else??

Answer 36

is that IT???!!!?

Answer 37

That's it :)

Answer 38

Answer 39

WOW

Answer 40

can you help me with some more??

Answer 41

#2

Answer 42

Sometimes we overthink things :)

Answer 43

and i need someone to check #5 pls

Answer 44

lol yeah thats true

Answer 45

If heads is cats and tails is dogs, what would you have to do to get a cat and a dog?

Answer 46

mix it like heads and tails or tails and heads

Answer 47

What would you need to do to the coins to make them show either heads or tails?

Answer 48

i think....

Answer 49

hmm

Answer 50

In football to determine which team gets the ball first, what do they do to a coin?

Answer 51

they flip it?

Answer 52

Yes! So to simulate what pets the family might get, they would need to flip the coins

Answer 53

ohh........ wow u make it seem SO EASY lol

Answer 54

is that it to that part?

Answer 55

and am i right in #5?

Answer 56

I'm pretty sure that is what they want :)

Answer 57

i dont think so

Answer 58

oh ok thx

Answer 59

what about #5?

Answer 60

If the family has three pets, what is the theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats?
I say that "heads, heads" is equal to having 3 cats; and "tails, tails" is equal to having 3 dogs. Since I say that, the theoretical probability of having 3 cats is 9/50 and the theoretical probability of having 3 dogs is 11/50.

Answer 61

Well, we know that we need 3 coins for 3 pets, so you would have to get heads heads heads for 3 cats and tails tails tails for 3 dogs

Answer 62

ok

Answer 63

yeah but about the probability how do i do that?

Answer 64

the probability thing I'm not really sure on, always have been bad at that, @amistre64 ?

Answer 65

kk @amistre64

Answer 66

@Nurali

Answer 67
