Question

If you hiked in Pocahontas State Park 100 times last year and you saw a White-crowned Sparrow 43 times, what is the probability that you will observe a White-crowned Sparrow next time you go hiking at Pocahontas State Park?

Answer 1

Answer: 43/100 or 0.43

Step-by-step explanation:

number of hikes in the period of a year (H) = 100

Number of times you observed White-crowned Sparrow (S) = 43

Therefore, the probability of seeing White-crowned Sparrow again =

S ÷ H

= 43/100 or 0.43

Answer 2

Answer: 43/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of hikes (T) = 100

Number of times White-crowned Sparrow was seen (N) = 43

Then, probability of seeing White-crowned Sparrow again = N / T

= 43/100

Thus, the probability of seeing White-crowned Sparrow again in Pocahontas State Park is 43/100
