What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability is the actual chance of something happening based on raw numbers.

For example: The theoretical probability of tails on a coin flip is 1/2 or 50%. If you flipped a coin, you would expect 50% to be heads, 50% to be tails.

However, since this almost never happens, experimental probability is used to describe the actual results.

For example: If you flip the coin 50 times and 23 are tails, 27 are heads, then the experimental probability is 46% for tails and 54% for heads.

I'm always happy to help :)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The number of people in a waiting line is a quantitative data as we can count them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The value of quantitative data can be determined by counting or measuring something.

Now consider the provided options.

The player’s number on a baseball uniform, the serial number on a one-dollar bill and the part number of an inventory item is not a quantitative data because we can't measure them.

The number of people in a waiting line is a quantitative data as we can count them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paciente con problema cardíaco del total de pacientes diagnosticados = 30%

Total de pacientes que van al hospital en un día = 70

El total de pacientes con problemas cardíacos entre los 70 pacientes diagnosticados es

30% de 70 = 30/100 * 70 = 21

konstantin123 [22]

Correct answer is A.

g - geometric mean
$g= \sqrt{ab} 
\\
\\g= \sqrt{6} ,a=4,b=?
\\ \sqrt{6}= \sqrt{4b} 
\\ (\sqrt{6})^2= (\sqrt{4b} )^2
\\6=4b
\\
\\b= \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}=1.5$

The width of a rectangle is (x+1) and the length is (x-6). What is the length and width of the rectangle if the area is 30 squar

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the width of the rectangle = (x+1) feet

Given that the length of the rectangle = ( x-6) feet

The area of the rectangle = 30 square feet

Step(ii):-

We know that the area of the rectangle

= length ×width

30 = ( x+1)(x-6)

30 = x² - 6x + x -6

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 = 30

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 - 30 =0

⇒ x² - 5 x - 36 =0

x² - 9 x +4x - 36 =0

x (x-9) +4 ( x-9) =0

( x+4 ) ( x-9) =0

( x+4 ) =0 and ( x-9) =0

x =-4 and x =9

Step(iii):-

we have to choose x =9

The length of the rectangle (l) = x-6 = 9-6 =3

The width of the rectangle (W) = x+1 = 9 +1 = 10

Final answer:-

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) = 10 feet
