A number cube could be used by specifying that the numbers 1,2pr 3 represent a hit, the number for represents a mess, and the numbers five and six would be ignored. Based on the following 50 trials of rolling a fair number cube, find an estimate of the probability that she makes five or six of the six foul shots she takes.

ANSWER :

27/50

EXPLANATION :

From the problem, we have the following results of throwing a cube with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. % and 6 are neglected in the result.

We have 50 results.

1, 2 and 3 represent a success shot.

4 represents a miss.

We need to count how many have 5 numbers and 6 numbers of 1, 2, 3 in the result.

These highlighted results have 5 numbers or 6 numbers of 1, 2, 3

or just simply look for the results with one 4, or nothing.

There are 27 out of 50 results.

The probability will be 27/50
