For a rock, paper, scissors experiment, there are 30 tries with a partner. I won 16/30 times. What's the probability of winning between 10 and 16 times inclusively? How do you solve this?
To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of probability. Probability is calculated by dividing the desired outcome by the total number of possible outcomes.
To calculate the probability of winning between 10 and 16 times inclusively, we first need to calculate the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, there are 30 tries, with each try having 3 possible outcomes (rock, paper, or scissors). Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is 30 x 3 = 90.
Next, we need to calculate the number of desired outcomes, which is winning between 10 and 16 times inclusively. In this case, you won 16 times out of 30 tries. So, the desired number of outcomes is 16.
Finally, we can calculate the probability by dividing the desired outcomes by the total number of outcomes: 16 / 90 ≈ 0.178.
Therefore, the probability of winning between 10 and 16 times inclusively in this rock, paper, scissors experiment is approximately 0.178 or 17.8%.
