Question

Madison tossed a paper cup and records wether it lands on its side. In 20 trails the cup lands on its side 19 times. In 90 trials the cup lands on its side 81 times

Answer 1

Answer:90% probability

Explanation:

To calculate the experimental probability of the cup landing on its side, we can use the formula:

experimental probability = number of times the cup landed on its side / total number of trials

For the first set of trials, the experimental probability is:

experimental probability = 19/20 = 0.95

For the second set of trials, the experimental probability is:

experimental probability = 81/90 = 0.9

So the experimental probability of the cup landing on its side for the first set of trials is higher than for the second set of trials. However, since the number of trials is relatively small, it is possible that this difference is due to chance and does not reflect a real difference in the probability of the cup landing on its side. To determine this with more confidence, we would need to conduct more trials and perform statistical tests to determine whether the difference is statistically significant.
