Chapter 12.7, Problem 3CCYP

To determine

To find the experimental probability that the show aired on the first day will be a show he missed.

Answer to Problem 3CCYP

The $\text{Experimental probability of having a winner in the second group}=\frac{1}{10}\text{ or 10}\%$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given statement is:

“Anthony’s favorite show is going to be replayed by a cable channel. They are going to play one episode each day in a random order. Anthony missed $\text{3}$ of the $\text{22}$ episodes.”

The results of Anthony’s simulation are shown:

  

Formula used:

The following formula is used:

  $\text{Experimental probability}=\frac{\text{Frequency of an outcome}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$

Calculation:

The experimental probability that it will be a show Anthony missed can be calculated by:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Experimental probability that it will be a show Anthony missed}=\frac{5}{50}\\ \text{Experimental probability of having a winner in the second group}=\frac{1}{10}\text{ or 10}\%\end{array}$

Hence, the $\text{Experimental probability of having a winner in the second group}=\frac{1}{10}\text{ or 10}\%$ .
