Do you think the experimental probability can ever be equal to the theoretical probability? Why or why not?

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

Ok so theoretical probability- what should happen after testing experimental probability- what did happen after testing This is true, but to expand on this: Suppose we toss a fair (non weighted) coin. The theoretical probability of getting a head (or tail) is 1/2 because the coin is fair so we should get an equal number of heads and tails ie. this is what should happen in theory. In practice this doesn't always happen, which is where experimental probability comes in. Experimental probability is the probability of an outcome of an event based on an experiment. For example, if we toss the coin 10 times and get 4 heads and 6 tails we would say that the experimental probability of getting a head is 4/10 = 2/5 and the experimental probability of getting a tail is 6/10 = 3/5. The more experiments we do, the closer the probabilities get to the theoretical probability. Experimental probability is particularly useful when looking at problems which involved events and outcomes for which we don't know a theoretical probability, so we use experimental probability to get an approximation. hope this helps

Divide both sides by 8:
m=8

Fill in the m's:
1*10-1*2=8
10-2=8
8=8

What is the sum of the last 5 terms of the series 1 9 17... 49?
drek231 [11]
The series is increasing by 8 each time.

So that means the complete series is:
1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49

Add the last 5 digits:
49 + 41 + 33 + 25 + 17 = 165

Answer:
165

A tour director collected $258 for 13 tour packages tour packages a cost $18 into a package requires $22 how many of each tour p
Lena [83]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 13

 

$18 + $22 = $258

OR

18X+22Y=258

 

18X + 22(13 - X) = 258

 

18X + 286 - 22X  = 258

 

286 - 4X  = 258

 

-4X= 258 - 286

 

-4X = -28

 

X= 7

Y=6

 7 of the X tour  packages & 6 of the Y tour  packages

A luxury liner leaves a port on a bearing of 110 degrees and travels 8.8 miles. It then turns due west and travels 2.4 miles. Ho
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Distance= 6.6 miles

Bearing= N 62.854°W

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine angle b first

Angle b=20° (alternate angles)

Using cosine rule

Let the distance between the liner and the port be x

X² =8.8²+2.4²-2(8.8)(2.4)cos20

X²= 77.44 + 5.76-(39.69)

X²= 43.51

X= √43.51

X= 6.596

X= 6.6 miles

Let's determine the angles within the triangle using sine rule

2.4/sin b = 6.6/sin20

(2.4*sin20)/6.6= sin b

0.1244 = sin b

7.146= b°

Angle c= 180-20-7.146

Angle c= 152.854°

For the bearing

110+7.146= 117.146

180-117.146= 62.854°

Bearing= N 62.854°W
