Question

Use the two bar graphs to answer the following experimental compound events. What is the

experimental probability of rolling a 2 and spinning 2?
- 6/625
- 4/250
- 24/2500
- 6/50

Answer 1

24 / 2500

Explanation:

Experimental probability = (number of successes / total number of trials)

For rolling :

Total number of trials = ( 10 + 4 + 8 + 11 + 8 + 9) = 50

Number of times 2 is rolled = 4

P(rolling a 2) = 4 /50

For spinning :

Total number of trials = (8 + 6 + 9 + 11 + 9 + 7) = 50

Number of times 2 is spunned = 6

P(rolling a 2) = 6 /50

Hence,

4 / 50 * 6/50 = 24 / 2500
