Question

SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME 1. What was the theoretical probability of collecting a specific dinosaur, such as a Velociraptor, in a single purchase? 2. How many spins did it take before you had at least one of each dinosaur in Trial 1? Trial 2? Trial 3? 3. How does the number of spins correlate to the number of boxes of cereal that you would need to purchase? 4. What was the experimental probability for each dinosaur from Trial 1? Trial 2? Trial 3? 5. How does the experimental probability of getting each dinosaur differ from the theoretical probability? Here, you are comparing the experimental vs. theoretical probability of getting each type of dinosaur in a single purchase. In other words, you are determining the probability for a single event, not a compound event. 6.If someone bought eight boxes of cereal and got all eight dinosaurs, would you be surprised? Why or why not? 9. How did the experimental probabilities change between the trials? 8. What are the advantages of using a simulation versus actually buying boxes of cereal?

Answer 1

I know you do not still need it but for those who do here is what I did.

Please do not copy and paste. This is to be used as an example ONLY.

Explanation:

1: The probability of collecting a specific dinosaur is very unlikely.

2:

25 spins

14 spins

25 spins

3: The number of spins correlates to the boxes of cearial by giving you a good representation on how many you will need to buy to collect all the dinosaurs.

4: Trial 1: 25 spins

Trial 2: 14 spins

Trial 3: 25 spins

5: The difference between experimental and theoretical probability is the experimental results can be different the theoretical results.

6: If someone bought eight boxes of cereal and got all eight dinosaurs I would be very surprised because getting it is only eight boxes is highly unlikely but not impossible.

7: The probabilities change by starting at 25 then 14 then back up to 25.

8: The advantages of of using a simulation is that you do not have to waste as much money.
