what is the probability that the spinner stops at the black sector after one spin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4 chance

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that is the requested probability

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so we have: probability = 1/4 it is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks! But do you mind helping me with 2 more?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

A box contains 100 colored chips; some are yellow and some are green. John chooses a chip at random, records the color, and places it back in the bag. John has recorded 57 yellow chips and 19 green chips. Using these results, what is the predicted number of green chips in the box? 25 43 76 81

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the probability to get a green chip is: 19/76, since John has recorded 19 green chips over 19+57=76 total chips

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's c

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, we have 24 chips into the box, since 100-76 = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think it is: (19/76)*100=...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks next question

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Thanks! please wait a moment, another student is calling me

Mike tossed a coin several times and recorded the number of heads and tails in the following table: What is the experimental probability of getting heads? 0.24 0.26 0.48 0.92

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I'll wait

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the requested probability, isby definition: \[\large p = \frac{{24}}{{50}} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.48

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! that's right!
