Question

58

Melanie and three of her classmates worked as a team to find the experimental probability of a spinner landing on a blue
section
. Melanie performed 10 trials,
• Enrique performed 50 trials.
Veronique performed 300 trials,
• Juanita performed 500 trials,
Compare the four experiments. Which student is most likely to get an experimental probability best suited for predicting
frequencies?
Melanie
Enrique
Veronique
Juanita

Answer 1

D) Juanita

Explanation:

An experimental probability refers to the quotient between the times an event happens and the total trials. So, if a person makes more trials, the fraction will represent better the predicting frequencies, because is trying more.

So, in this case, Juanita is most likely to get an experimental probability best suited for predicting frequencies, because she was the one who did more trials, 500 in total.

Answer 2

Juanita.

Explanation:

She did it more times so there would be more chances of getting better results.
