Question

Gregory applies honey to one side of his toast. He wants to estimate the likelihood that the toast will land with the honey side facing up when dropped. He drops the toast 40 times and finds that it lands with the honey side facing up 8 times. From this data, it is that the toast will land with the honey side facing down.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) likely

Step-by-step explanation:

It is likely that the toast will land with the honey side facing down. This is because if we find the percentage of chance/probability of the honey side facing down using the data provided it would be the following...

8 / 40 = 0.20 .... times 100 to find percentage value

0.20 * 100 = 20%

We see that there is a 20% that the honey side will land facing down every time that you drop the piece of toast. This means that there is an 80% chance that the honey side will land facing down which is ultimately a high probability and a very likely chance of it happening.
