EXPLAIN the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Use an example.

<h2><em>ANSWER </em><em>BELOW:</em><em>-</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability describes how likely an event is to occur. We know that a coin is equally likely to land heads or tails, so the theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2. Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment.

EXAMPLE-

Theoretical probability:

For instance, since a flipped coin has two sides and each side is equally likely to land up, the theoretical probability of landing heads (or tails) is exactly 1 out of 2.

Experimental probability:-

For example, the probability of getting a head if you flip a coin is ½, since only 2 things could happen (a head or a tail) and each one has an equal chance of occurring.

mark me as brainliest if possible. :)

Two containers hold several balls. Once a second, one of the balls is chosen at random and switched to the other container. Afte
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a) 8 balls

(b) 4 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

N \to Number of balls

For a box, the probability that there are N balls in it is:

Pr = 0.5^N

For 2 boxes, it is:

Pr = 2 * 0.5^N

From the question, we have:

\frac{80}{10000} \to Favorable outcome

To solve for N, we have:

2 * 0.5^N = \frac{80}{10000}

2 * 0.5^N = 0.008

Divide both sides by 2

0.5^N = 0.004

Take log of both sides

\log(0.5^N) = \log(0.004)

Apply law of logarithm

N\log(0.5) = \log(0.004)

Make N the subject

N = \frac{\log(0.004)}{\log(0.5)}

N =7.966

Approximate

N = 8

Solving (b): Balls in one of the two boxes.

Here, we assume that each ball will have almost the same number of balls at a given instance;

Hence, we have:

Balls \approx \frac{N}{2}

Balls \approx \frac{8}{2}

Balls \approx 4

<em>4 balls in each box</em>

If forces are unbalanced, what will happen to the object (horse)?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Newton's 2nd Law says that an object accelerates if there is a net (unbalanced) force on it. Looking at the wagon in the diagram above, you can see that there is just one force exerted on the wagon - the force that the horse exerts on it. The wagon accelerates because the horse pulls on it!
