Christopher has scored at least 1 goal in 12 of his 15 soccer games this season. What is the experimental probability that he will score in the next game?
I'd say 12/15, right?
Thank you. I thought the same which in simple form is 4/5
To find the experimental probability that Christopher will score in the next game, we need to determine the ratio of the number of times he has scored in the next game to the total number of games he has played.
Given that Christopher has scored in 12 out of 15 games this season, we know that he has scored in 12 games. Therefore, the number of times he has scored in the next game is 12.
The total number of games played this season is 15.
To find the experimental probability, divide the number of times he has scored in the next game by the total number of games played:
Experimental Probability = Number of times he has scored in the next game / Total number of games played
Experimental Probability = 12 / 15
Therefore, the experimental probability that Christopher will score in the next game is 12/15 or 0.8 (or 80%).
