I believe the answer to be C)81 ft2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
.
a. Yolanda only wins if the cup lands upright.
From the experimental data we see that the probability of winning is 5 out of 50, or
10%. Therefore, if Yolanda plays 10 times she can expect to win 10% of 10 times = 1
time. She will lose 9 times. (Note: Ten trials is a very small number of trials, so we should not be surprised if Yolanda’s results are very different from the percentages
produced by the longer experiment.)
b. If Yolanda wins 1 time and plays 10 times, she will have spent $10 to play and won
back only $5, so she would have less money at the end of 10 games.
In case the user wants to see workings. These problems can easily be solved on a calculator, but can we work them out in our heads? ;)
9.34-3.029
=9.340-3.029
=9.340-3.000-0.029
=6.340-0.029
=6.311
