Question

per 2 Question 7 5 points) 06.02 10 Acolored chip is yellow on one side and red on the other. The chip was flipped 50 times and landed on red side up 22 times. What is the relative frequency of the chip landing with the red side facing up? (5 points)

Answer 1

To find the relative frequency, divide the number of times that the chip landed with the red side facing up over the total amount of times that the chip was flipped:

`(22)/(50)`

Since both 22 and 50 are multiples of 2, simplify the expression:

`(22)/(50)=(22/2)/(50/2)=(11)/(25)`

Write this fraction as a decimal and multiply it by 100 to find the relative frequency as a percentage:

`(11)/(25)*100\text{ \%}=44\text{ \%}`

Therefore, the relative frequency of the chip landing with the red side facing up is:

`44\text{ \%}`
