Question

A random number generator is used to create a list of 300 single-digit numbers. Of those 300 numbers, 146 are odd and 154 are even. The number 8 was generated 22 times. What is the experimental probability of an even number other than 8 being generated

Answer 1

0.44

Explanation:

The total numbers drawn = 300

Out those 146 are odd and 154 are even.

The number 8 was drawn = 22 times

So, the number of times an even number other than 8 = 154 -22 = 132

The experimental probability = The number of favorable outcomes ÷ The number of possible outcomes.

The experimental probability of an even number other than 8 being generated =
`(132)/(300)`

Simplify the above fraction to decimal, we get

= 0.44

Therefore, the answer is 0.44
