Question

A nurse decided to run a simulation on the weights of the next 15 babies that will be born is her hospital. The simulation uses values from 5 to 10 pounds. Based on the simulation results, estimate the probability of a baby being born between 7.0 and 8.0 pounds.
8.9 7.1 7.0 5.3 6.8 5.5 5.3 5.1 7.3 8.5 7.5 9.7

0.533
0.067
0.333
0.467

Answer 2

There are 12 numbers in the list of values shown. Of this count, there are exactly four values that are between 7.0 and 8.0 (those values are: 7.1, 7.0, 7.3, 7.5)

So the empirical probability of picking a weight between 7.0 and 8.0 is 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.333 (approx)

Answer: Choice C) 0.333
