Question:

The following table shows the number of comments on each of Omar's 9 most recent social media posts.

0 2 8

7 0 0

0 6 4

Based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that Omar's next post will get no comments?

Answer:

P(0) = 44.4%

Explanation:

We are given the number of comments on each of Omar's 9 most recent social media posts.

We want to find the probability that Omar's next post will have 0 comments.

We know that probability is given by

P(0) = No. of desired outcomes/No. of total outcomes

From the above data we know that total number of outcomes are 9.

Now count the number of times Omar got 0 comments.

These are the desired outcomes. (4 times)

Therefore, the probability of getting 0 comments is

P(0) = 4/9

P(0) = 0.444

P(0) = 44.4%
