To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
what solid??????
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 32, depending on how you do the math will be different outcomes
1) Experimental probability of drawing a Club = 9 / 40
The experimental probability is the probability of the event occurring in the experiment. You use your results to find the experimental probability. This is over the total amount of trials. In this experiment, 9 clubs were drawn. Thus, the experimental probability of drawing a club is 9 / 40.
2) Relative frequency of drawing a Spade = 1 / 5
Relative frequency is the same as experimental probability. You use your results and set the experiment number over the total number of trials. Thus, the relative frequency of drawing a Spade is 8 / 40, or 1 / 5.
3) Theoretical probability of drawing a Heart = 1 / 4
The theoretical probability is the expected probability. There are 13 hearts out of a full deck of 52 cards. Thus, the theoretical probability of drawing a heart is 13 / 52 or 1 / 4.
4) Theoretical probability of drawing a Club or Diamond = 1 / 2
The theoretical probability is the probability that is expected. In this scenario, it will be the number of clubs plus the number of diamonds in a deck of cards over the total number of cards in a full deck. And, or means that either probability could occur and we should add. Thus, the theoretical probability of drawing a club or diamond is 26 / 52 or 1 / 2.
5) The difference between experimental and theoretical probability is that experimental probability is the probability of an event occurring based on your experiment and results. The theoretical probability is the expected probability of an event occurring. It is not based on your experiment, and in a completely fair experiment, would be the probability of an event occurring. For example, flipping a coin. The theoretical probability of getting heads when you flip a coin is 0.5. But say in your experiment of 50 trials you get heads 15 times. The experimental probability would be 15 / 50.
