Question

April and Sanjay are both using tools to simulate the probability that a family with three children will have exactly one girl. April is using a coin, with tails up representing a boy and heads up representing a girl. She flipped the coin three times. Sanjay rolled a number cube three times with odd numbers representing a boy and even numbers representing a girl.

Explain the differences in the theoretical probability and the experimental probability.

Answer 1

The simulations have different theoretical probabilities of a 3-child family having exactly one girl, and the experimental probabilities they generate may differ.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A.) Both simulations have the same theoretical probability of a 3-child family having exactly one girl, but their experimental probabilities may differ.

I took the test and this was the answer lol :)
