Question

Bobby finds that the experimental probability that he will make a hole-in-one on any hole of a miniature golf course is 10%. If Bobby plays 50 holes of miniature golf, about how many holes-in-one do you predict he would make?

Answer 1

Bobby could make into 5 holes out of 50 holes in miniature golf .

Explanation:

Bobby has experimental probability that he will make a hole-in-one on any hole of a miniature golf course is 10%, i.e. If there is a miniature golf of 100 holes bobby could make into 10 goals. Probability is 10% i.e. 1/10

According to question, Bobby plays 50 holes of miniature golf :

No. of goals he could make = ( No. of holes ) × probability⇒ 50× (1/10)

∴ No. of goals he could make ⇒ 5
