What's the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability

1 answer:

8 0

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of a certain event occurring calculated based on all the possible outcomes. (Theorizing about the probability of a certain occurrence)

Experimental probability is the likelihood of a certain event occurring calculated by performing trials of an activity and recording the number of times an event occurs, then dividing the total number of even occurrences by total number of trials. (Experimenting to find probability of a certain occurrence)

A circle cuts the x-axis at (4,0) and (14,0), and cuts the y-axis at (0,6) and (0,8). Find it's equation

gayaneshka [121]

It is not a circle but you can find the equation of the ellipse.
To do this we need to work out the major and minor radii and the centre
The centre is at (9, 7)
The major (y) radius is 1 and the minor (x) radius is 5
Therefore the equation is (x-9)/5 + (y-7)/1 = 1

The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3/8 of the items barbecued

algol [13]

Answer:

7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

total items barbequed = 1

Veggie burgers = 3/8

Corn cobs =1/3

Mushroom caps = x

Veggie burgers + corn cobs + x = 1

3/8 + 1/3 + x = 1

9+8 /24 + x = 1

17/24 + x = 1

x= 1 - 17/24

=24-17 /24

= 7/24

x = 7/24

Fraction of barbequed items that are mushroom's is 7/24
