I'm guessing you're given a list of choices?

ys 90 80 70 and 100

There

thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The only thing I can think of is that the more trials there are, the closer the experimental probability gets to the theoretical probability. So that would make 100 be the best answer in my opinion. Since it's the largest choice.
