Question

A computer generates 50 integers from 1 to 8 at random. The results are recorded in this table.

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Number of times outcome occurred

5 8 9 7 4 6 5 6
What is the experimental probability of the computer generating a 2 or a 4?


12%

15%

22%

30%

Answer 1

The experimental probability of the computer generating a 2 or a 4 is 30% option fourth is correct.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

A computer generates 50 integers from 1 to 8 at random.

Total number of outcomes = 5+8+9+7+4+6+5+6  = 50

Computer generating a 2 = 8

Computer generating a 4 = 7

P(computer generating a 2) = 8/50

P(computer generating a 4) = 7/50

P(computer generating a 2 or a 4) = 8/50 + 7/50 = 15/50 or

= 0.3×100

= 30%

Thus, the experimental probability of the computer generating a 2 or a 4 is 30% option fourth is correct.
