Question

A ball is tossed at a hole in a board. The ball goes into the hole 15 times and misses the hole 52 times. What is the probability that the ball will go into the hole when tossed? Answer as a percent rounded to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 0.22388 or 22.388%

Explanation:

Given:

Ball goes into hole = 15 times

Ball miss the hole = 52 times

Find:

Probability (Ball goes into hole)

Computation:

Total number of tries = 15 + 52

Total number of tries = 67

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 15 / 67

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 0.22388 or 22.388%
