Question

A football coach is trying to decide: When a team is ahead late in the game, which strategy is better? Play the "regular" defense. Play a "prevent" defense that guards against long gains but makes short gains easier. The coach reviews the outcomes of 100 games. Compare the probability of winning when playing regular defense with the probability of winning when playing prevent defense. Draw a conclusion based on your results.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning when playing regular defense is 42 over the total 50.  

42/50 = 0.84

The probabilty of also winning when playing Prevent defense is 35 over the total 50 also.

35/50 =  0.70  

0.84 is greater than 0.70 so your more likely to win playing regular defense.
