Question

Of the last 16 trains to arrive at Yardley Station, 14 were on time. What is the experimental probability that the next train to arrive will be on time?

Answer 1

Answer:

The experimental probability that the next train to arrive will be on time is P(T) = $\frac{14}{16}$ = 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental Probablity is based on the experiments which we have performed in the past. In this case, of the total number of trains (16), the total number of trains which arrived on time is (14). So the probablity tat the next train to arrive will be on time would be calculated as:

= $\frac{14}{16}$

= 0.875
