Question

If we buy 20 pickles what is the experimental probability of winning 5 or more tickets

Answer 1

Answer:

$Pr = 0.66$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

$P(x \ge 5)$

From the attachment, we have:

$S = 2 + 8 + 4+20+21+19+17+5+2+2$

$S =100$ ---- the sample size

Next, we list out all outcomes more than or equal to 5.

i.e.

$x \ge 5$

5 is represented with the vertical blue rectangle (with frequency 21).

So, the other elements are to the right of frequency 21.

So, we have:

$x \ge 5 = 21+19+17+5+2+2$

$x \ge 5 = 66$

The probability is then calculated as:

$Pr = \frac{x \ge 5}{S}$

This gives

$Pr = \frac{66}{100}$

$Pr = 0.66$
