Question

Jo paints some tennis balls and puts them in a bag. She picks a ball at random from the bag and replaces it. She repeats this 60 times, and gets a ball not painted 50 times. Find the experimental probability of getting a painted ball from Jo's bag.

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

An experimental probability is the number of times an event occurred when actually attempted.

So, if Jo does the experiment 60 times and receives 50 unpainted balls, then calculate how many painted balls she got:

60-50 = 10.

So, the probability of picking a painted ball = 10/60 = 1/6

Hope this helps
