Question

You placed each of these cards in a brown paper bag and randomly select one and then record your results. After each selection, you place it back in the bag and select another. You do this for a total of 50 times and your results are: 6 times you picked the ace, 14 times you picked the 2, 13 times you picked the 3, 4 times you picked the 4, and 13 times you picked the 5. After looking at your results, what is the experimental probability of selecting the 4? Hint: You may have to reduce. *

Answer 1

The experimenta probability of picking a 4 is
`(4)/(50)`

Explanation:

To determine the experimental probability, we just need to divide the number of observations of the specific event by the total number of trials. In this case, we are interested in the event "picking a 4 card". This event happened 4 times. We have a total number of trials of 50. So , the experimental probability is

`(4)/(50)`
