Answer 1

Theoretical would be 1/3.

Experimental would be 19/50.

Now just find the percent of each

Answer 2

Experimental is 38% and theoretical is 33.3 i think

Answer 3

@nikato Hello?

Answer 4

I think its A

Answer 5

Nvm D

Answer 6

Yes. d is correct

Answer 7

C.
Theoretical - 33.3%
Experimental - 19%

Answer 8

@lulubj
Experimental is not 19% because its 19/50 not 19/100

Answer 9

oh ok
