Question

1. A bag contains 9 tiles numbered 1 to 9. P(4) 1/9 =

a. experimental; the result is found by repeating an experiment.
b. experimental; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
c. theoretical; the result is found by repeating an experiment.
d. theoretical; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number written on tiles in a bag = 1 to 9

So, Possible outcomes will be

{1,2,3,4,5,6}

So, Probability of getting a 4 is given by

`\frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\\\\=(1)/(9)`

So, It is theoretical i.e. the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

Answer 2

P(4) = 1/9 is theoretical because. the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
