Ellen’s class voted for different field trip destinations. P(museum) 25%, P(zoo)=0.25,P(nature center)=37.5%, and P(state park)=5/24. If one vote is chosen at random, which destination is least likely to be chosen?
State Park
Gabriella is a 75% free throw shooter which means that on average she makes 3 out of 4 free throw attempts. The table shows the results of 10 trials of a simulation where “Y” represents a made free throw and “N” represents a missed free throw. Which is greater, the experimental probability or the theoretical probability that Gabriella makes her next free throw attempt?
N, Y, Y, N, Y, Y, N, Y, Y, Y
