Joel scores in 80% of his games. They are starting the playoffs and if they make it to the state championship, they will have played 5 games. Joel wants to determine the probability that he scores in 4 of the 5 games.
Joel sets up his simulation using a table of random digits between 0 and 9. Let 0−7 represent Joel scoring and 8−9 represent Joel not scoring. Select five digits.
He preforms the simulation 15 times and his results are recorded in the table. What is the probability that Joel scores in 4 of the 5 games?
4/15
7/15
8/15
11/15 <my answer
4/15 guys c:
Where is the table of Joel's results?
Its 4/15 I just answered this question on usa test prep and and i
Got it right
To determine the probability that Joel scores in 4 out of the 5 games, we need to analyze the results of his simulation.
In the simulation, Joel uses a table of random digits between 0 and 9, where 0-7 represent Joel scoring and 8-9 represent Joel not scoring. By selecting five digits, his results can be recorded and analyzed.
According to the question, Joel performed the simulation 15 times and recorded the results. However, the actual results are not provided, so we cannot directly calculate the probability based on specific data.
Therefore, we cannot determine the exact probability that Joel scores in 4 out of the 5 games without the specific results from his simulation or additional information.
Hence, we cannot choose any of the given options (4/15, 7/15, 8/15, 11/15) as the correct answer without further information.
