x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.
now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
Answer:
It is an example of an empirical probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
The empirical probability, also called experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.
Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning.
It is evident that the probability in the question was arrived at after the outcome of 14 days of whether Jerry Gergich spilled his lunch on himself or not.
It's an actual result of an experiment, hence the 12/14 = 0.86 = 86% that he spills his lunch on himself tomorrow.
Hope this Helps!!!
