A figure shows a triangle drawn inside a trapezoid. The area of the triangle is 445 in², and the area of the trapezoid is 2225 in². A point on the figure is randomly selected, and its location is recorded.

After 150 trials, the randomly selected point was in the triangle 48 times.

How does the experimental probability of a randomly selected point being in the triangle compare to the theoretical probability of the event?

The experimental probability of the event is
Choose... 20, 30, or 32
and the theoretical probability of the event is
Choose...20, 30, or 32
Therefore, the experimental probability is
Choose... equal to, greater than, or less than.
the theoretical probability.

Answer:

32%

20%

greater than

Explanation:

The experimental probability of the event is 32% and the theoretical probability of the event is 20%. Therefore, the experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.
