Question

When Jake picked from the
numbers below, he got the number
one 6 times out of 10 picks. What is
the experimental and theoretical probability?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability isn't my strong subject, so please review carefully.

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible numbers:

Number  Count    Probability    Chance

    1              2               2/5           40%

    3              1               1/5             20%

    5             2               2/5            40%

Sum             5                  1             100% [chance you'll get any number]

The probability of getting the number 1 is 2/5 or 40% on the first draw.  The probability of getting 6 1's in 10 draws is:

$(2/5)^{10}$ = 0.0001049

Try it to determine the experimental probability.  After 10,000 tries you should have at least one success.
