Experimental Probability Assignment
Perform an experiment with 50 trials. What is the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red?
1/10
A computer manufacturer is performing a quality check to make sure the computers' sound cards are working correctly. The plant manager tested 1,000 computers on Monday and found that 4 had defective sound cards. What is the experimental probability of a computer having a bad sound card?
1/250
A cereal manufacturer checks a set number of cereal boxes every day to better understand problems in the manufacturing process. The table at right describes possible packaging problems and the frequency of each problem. If the cereal manufacturer packages 10,000 boxes of cereal a day, about how many boxes would you expect to have too many raisins?
200 boxes
Before a new video game is released, it is tested by a number of volunteer gamers. During testing, the experimental probability of completing a new game with a perfect score was found to be . If 1,000,000 people buy and play the game when it is released, how many players will complete the game with a perfect score?
2000 players
The results of a blind taste test experiment are shown in the table. What is the experimental probability of a randomly chosen food item tasting sweet?
A 3/25
Alisha conducted an experiment in which a spinner landed on green 7 times. If the experimental probability of the spinner landing on green is 15, how many trials did Alisha perform?
B 35
To find the experimental probability of a spinner landing on green, Isaac is performing an experiment with 10 trials. Latoya is performing an experiment with 100 trials. Liam is performing an experiment with 1,000 trials. Michelle is performing an experiment with 10,000 trials. Compare the four experiments. Who is most likely to get an experimental probability best suited for predicting frequencies?
Michelle
Bryanna performed an experiment in which she flipped a coin and recorded the results. She got heads up 23 times and tails up 27 times. Which statements are true about the experimental probability of getting tails up?
The experimental probability is written as a ratio. The experimental probability includes 50 trials. The experimental probability compares the number of tails up to the number of trials.
Tia performed an experiment in which she flipped a coin 100 times. The coin landed heads up 49 times and tails up 51 times.
The number 100 represents the number of trials number in the experiment 49/100 represents the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up.
The experimental probability of getting a 3 on a number cube is 5/36. Which of the following is true about the event's experimental probability?
The number 3 was rolled 5 times in 36 trials.
A number cube was rolled as part of an experiment. The results are shown in the table. Explain how to find the experimental probability of rolling a 6.
To find the experimental probability, compare the total number of times the event occurs to the total number of trials. Compare the frequency of rolling the number six (9) to the total number of trials (60) using a ratio, and then reduce.
