The experimental probability is
(number of times it stopped over Sect. 2) / (total number of times you tried it)
Number of times it stopped in Section-2: 36
Total number of times you tried it: (20 + 36 + 24) = 80
Experimental probability of Section-2 = 36/80 = 9/20 = 45%
So below m in the chart, is shows what m equals for you to substitute in the equation
So the second blank would be 42.
Since 7*6=42.
The third blank would equal to 56.
Since 7*8=56
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
