Question 8(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (06.05 MC)
A paper cup is dropped and its landing position is recorded. The cup can land on the side, on the open end, or on the closed end. The results of 20 trials are shown in the table below:
Paper Cup Experiment
# of times occurred
Open
HT III
Closed
Side
HT III
Based on the table, which of the following best compares the experimental probability of the cup landing on its open end with the experimental probability of the cup landing on its closed end?
The probabilities are equal.
The probability of landing on the open end is greater.
The probability of landing on the closed end is greater.
O No conclusion can be made.

Table Given in the question :

Open = HT 111 = 8

Side = 1111 = 4

Side = HT 111 = 8

The probability of landing on the open end is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the experimental probability distribution :

Open = HT 111 = 8

Side = 1111 = 4

Side = HT 111 = 8

The experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs and the total number of trials.

P(A) = number of times A occurs / total number of trials

Where A is defined event.

COMPARING the probabilities of open and closed events

P(open) = 8 / 20 = 2 / 5

P(closed) = 4 / 20 = 1/5

2/5 > 1/5

P(open) > P(closed)

circle area = pi * radius^2

if diameter = 10 then radius = 5

circle area = pi * 5^2

circle area = pi * 25

circle area = 78.5398163397 square units

step-by-step explanation:

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
