how many times does "green" show up in the table?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

30 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we divide that by 80 30/80 = 3/8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since there are 80 trials

@jim_thompson5910 SO?

@Zale101

OpenStudy (zale101):

Gouke, what do you mean by so??

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

I mean what do I do next :|

OpenStudy (zale101):

anways, you have a total number of trials which is 80, and the question is asking for the relative frequency meaning the chances green could be picked.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

at this point, you just need to convert 3/8 into a percentage

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

37.5 %

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

375? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

37.5% is correct

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Won't let me type it :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh it says to round to the nearest percent if necessary

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

What is it then? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

round 37.5% to the nearest percent

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

0.4? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of it like saying "round 37.5 to the nearest whole number"

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

40? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's not correct

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

:(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of a number line and where 37.5 falls near

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

There's a lot of numbers like that e.e
