Answer:

Hey there!

This is because the theoretical probability is different from the experimental probability. The theoretical probability is what is expected, but the experimental probability is what actually happens.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One possible explanation would be that the penny was less than perfect, that is, not perfectly balanced, not perfectly round, and the surface on which the penny was spun was slightly uneven.  So, the number of actual, observed heads (41/100) differed from the theoretical probability of getting heads, which would be 50/100, or 0.50.

Question:

In a neighbourhood pet show, each of the animals entered is equally likely to win. if there are 7 dogs, 6 cats, 3 birds, and 2 gerbils entered, what is the probability that a bird will win the top prize?

Answer:

Probability that a bird will win the top prize is 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of  dogs  = 7

The number of  cats = 6

The number of  birds  = 3

The number of gerbils = 2

To Find:

Probability that a bird will win the top prize = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the total number of  pets .

The Total number of pets = 7 + 6 + 3  + 2 =  18

Now the probability of  a bird will win the top prize is

=> \frac{\text {Number of birds}}{\text{ Total number of pets}}

=>\frac{3}{18}

=> \frac{1}{6}

=>0.167
