Which ratio best defines experimental probability? Number of times an event occurs:Total number of times the activity is performed Total number of times the activity is performed:Number of times an event occurs Number of nonfavorable outcomes:Number of possible outcomes Number of possible outcomes:Number of nonfavorable outcomes

@jtvatsim

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Well I don't know how really to explain this without giving a direct answer...but http://www.mathgoodies.com/glossary/term.asp?term=experimental%20probability that should probably help you out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jtvatsim what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Close, other way around. It's the number of times occurs to the total times.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, it was actually in the link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is it A or B?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

"Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B? @Astrophysics

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

C'mon man just read the sentence..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :) sorry by the way, lol

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's cool

@Astrophysics

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

This one should be pretty straight forward you want to find the amount of white beads in a total of 1000, so what is the original ratio out of a 100?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, i dont get it

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You're just suppose to multiply the original ratio by 1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the original ratio?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Read your question and tell me what you think

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's not difficult see if you can figure it out first, out of a 100 trials how many times was white pulled out, just read the boxes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, that's it! Because the original you have 27/100 multiply that by 1000 you get 270 :-)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

That's all to it, not so hard right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nopoe :)
