Section: Frequency: M 21 A 26 T 25 H 28 compare the theoretical probability to the experimental probability of landing on H. @perl @Music_me @bibby @jigglypuff314
Please help :( anyone?
I know the experimental is 7/25 but I don't know theoritical...
So, there r 100 in total when u add all of'em up, so 100 would be the denominator. There r 4 letters, so 100 divided by 4 is 25: 25/100. Now, u simplify that.
no. It says it is a spinner with four equal size sections marked m a t h
Music_me can't be simplified.
o wait it can
But is that correct? I tried that but I thought it was wrong
Well, what did u get when u simplified?
4/25
since each letter is theoretically equally likely, you should have 1 in 4 chance for H
yea and thats 25/100 so you simplify it
No it's not 4/25
I get it.. but I have one more question
5/25 music_me
which is 1/5
No. 25/100 simplified is actually 1/4 bcz 100 divided by 25 is 4 & 25 divided by 25 is 1
Manny rolls a number cube labeled 1 through 6 and spins a spinner with four equal sections, labeled 1,2,3,4 if both numbers are odd, he wins. Otherwise, Gabriel wins. Use a list to find the sample space. then find the probability that gabriel wins
Can u help me with that ^?
Sure
2 parts to the question...
So, let's fist do the list
There r 6 sides to the number cube & 4 sections to the spinner. Now, there will b 24 combinations in the list & I will only give u the first 4 u name the rest ok?
ok?
1, 1; 1, 2; 1, 3; 1, 4
?
Ok so, the list is practically just combinations. Like the ones I gave. 1, 1; 1, 2; 1, 3; 1, 4; 2, 1; 2, 2; 2, 3; 2, 4
I did 5 odd in a spinner and a cube so I added the outcomes up got 5/10 and 1/2... which is wrong... :/?
im confused..
oh wait we have to make a list of like 1;1 1;2 1;3 1;4 1;5 1;6 2;1 2;3 2;4 all the way to 6 and see which is odd??
yes or no?
Yes
Ok so wait
1;1 1;2 1;3 1;4 1;5 1;6 2;1 2;2 2;3 2;4 2;5 2;6 3;1 3;2 3;3 3;4 3;5 3;6 4;1 4;2 4;3 4;4 4;5 4;6 5;1 5;2 5;3 5;4 5;5 5;6 6;1 6;2 6;3 6;4 6;5 6;6 Now count which are odd? thats my answer??
No, the total for the odd has to do more with finding the probability
so what do I do with this list??
Remember I told u that there were 24 combinations in the list. Well, that is the denominator fir the ftraction
oh so its 18/24 which is reduced to 6/8 which then reduces to 3/4 is that my answer?
Yes correct! :)
Thanks
