The experimental probability of each event is as follows:

Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

The experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes that favored the event to the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

In the question, we are given that Jake tossed a paper cup 50 times and recorded the position how it landed, which is shown in the table:

Open-sided up: 1

Closed side up 5

On the side: 44.

We are asked to determine the experimental probability of each outcome.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is open-sided up is 1.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is closed-sided up is 5.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is on the side up is 44.

The total number of times the experiment took place is 50.

Thus, the experimental probability of each event is as follows:

Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

Find the probability of getting four consecutive aces when four cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 p

posledela

Answer:

P=0.0000037

P=0.00037%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

A standard deck of 52 playing cards has 4 aces.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$

Now we got an ace, there are 3 more aces out of 51 cards.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{51}=\frac{1}{17}$

Now we have 2 aces out of 50 cards.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{50}=\frac{1}{25}$

Finally, the probability of getting the remaining ace out of the 49 cards is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{49}$

The probability of getting the four consecutive aces is the product of the above-calculated probabilities:

$\displaystyle P= \frac{1}{13}\cdot\frac{1}{17}\cdot\frac{1}{27}\cdot\frac{1}{49}$

$\displaystyle P= \frac{1}{270,725}$

P=0.0000037

P=0.00037%

Jerry's Seed Palace claims that 80% of its lima bean seeds will germinate. Suppose the company's claim is true. Callie buys a pa

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Bernoulli trial problem.

Since the probability that the seed will germinate is 80% or 0.8, the probability that they won’t germinate is 0.2

Now let’s say the probability to germinate is p and the probability not to is a, we can now set up the Bernoulli equation in this regard. Since we are proposing that exactly 14 will germinate, it means 6 are not expected to germinate

P(14) = 20C14 (0.8)^14 (0.2)^6 = 0.109099700973

There are 321 crayons in a box and 204 crayons on the floor. About how many fewer than 1,000 crayons are there? Estimate. Then s

Sati [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated number:

300 + 200 = 500

The difference between the estimated number an 1000 is:

1000 - 500 = 500

The exact number:

321 + 204 = 525

The difference between the exact number and 1000 is:

1000 - 525 = 475
