Chapter 12.7, Problem 3DCYP

To determine

To compare the experimental probability to the expected value.

Answer to Problem 3DCYP

The expected value is greater than the experimental probability but they are relatively close.

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:

  

The expected value that it will be a show Anthony missed is $\frac{3}{22}\text{ or 13}\text{.6\%}$ and the $\text{Experimental probability of having a winner in the second group}=\frac{1}{10}\text{ or 10}\%$ .

So, the expected value is greater than the experimental probability but they are relatively close.
