Answer: $1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$ of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Nine friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally.

The total amount of pecans = 12 pounds

The total number of friends =9

If all friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally, then

The amount of pecans each friend has= $12\div9$ pounds

Thus, The amount of pecans each friend has= $\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$

Hence, each friend has $1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds$ of pecans.

Answer:

(A) There should have been 5 outcomes of HT

(B) The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability of HT.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$S = \{HH,HT,TH,TT\}$ -- Sample Space

$n(S) = 4$ --- Sample Size

Solving (a); theoretical outcome of HT in 20 tosses

First, calculate the theoretical probability of HT

$P(HT) = \frac{n(HT)}{n(S)}$

$P(HT) = \frac{1}{4}$

Multiply this by the number of tosses

$P(HT) * n= \frac{1}{4} * 20$

$P(HT) * n= 5$

Solving (b); experimental probability of HT

Here, we make use of the table

$P(HT) = \frac{n(HT)}{n(S)}$

$P(HT) = \frac{6}{20}$

$P(HT) = 0.30$ ---- Experimental Probability

In (a), the theoretical probability is:

$P(HT) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(HT) = 0.25$ ---- Experimental Probability

By comparison;

$0.30 > 0.25$

Answer: 126.

Here is an example of my work, just add your prefered numbers and boom, 126.

Also, mine was 200 instead of 300 and I got 84. So just plug in your number and boom.
