Question

Harry selects jellybeans out of a jar and records the number of times he picks a pink jellybean. Number

the following situations in order from the situation that gives the largest difference between relative
frequency and actual probability to the situation that gives the smallest difference.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Probability of an event is given as

P(an event) = no of time event occur / total sample space of event.

Let the total outcome be n,

Then, first situation...

If harry select 12 times, it probability is 12/n.

Second situation

Harry select 8 time, it probability is 8/n

Third situation,

Harry select 4 times, it probably is 4 / n.

Fourth situation

Harry selects 16 time, it probability is 16/n

Then, arranging from the order of highest frequency

Then,

16 / n, 12 / n, 8 / n and 4 / n
