Concept explainers
Describe how you would use the geometric probability model to design a stimulation.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
M scores 35% of the goals his team earns in each water polo match.
Calculation:
Step 1 :
Possible Outcomes | Theoritical Probability |
M scores goals | 35% |
M does not score goals | (100-35)% = 65% |
Step 2:
The simulation will consist of 100 trials.
Step 3:
We can use a spinner divided into two sectors, one containing 35% of spinner’s area and the other containing 65% of spinner’s area .Find the measurement of central
M scores goals =
M does not score goals =
: Yellow sector
Step 4:
A trial means one spin on the spinner , represents goal scored by M or not .
A successful trial will be M does not score goal and a failed trial means M scores a goal .
The simulation will consist of 100 trials.
Perform 100 trials and record the result.
