Question

Please help!!! Eitan randomly selected volcanoes to travel to and study. After traveling, he had seen 13 cinder cone volcanoes,

18 shield volcanoes, and 6 stratovolcanoes.

Answer 1

cinder cone: estimated probability = 0.35

shield: estimated probability = 0.49

stratovolcano: estimated probability = 0.16

Explanation:

Given that he had seen 13 cinder cone volcanoes, 18 shield volcanoes, and 6 stratovolcanoes.

So the total number of volcanoes are 13 + 18 + 6 = 37

So the estimated probability of Cinder cone is \frac{13}{37}\approx 0.35

37

13

​

≈0.35

The estimated probability of Shield is \frac{18}{37}\approx 0.49

37

18

​

≈0.49

The estimated probability of Stratovolcano is \frac{6}{37}\approx 0.16

37

6

​

≈0.16

Below is the completed table
