A box contains 95 pink rubber bands and 90 brown rubber bands. You select a rubber band at random from the box. Find each probability. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form...
Can you guys explain part C.
You repeatedly choose a rubber band from the box, record the color, and put the rubber band back in the box. The results are shown I try out for my collab the Table below. Find the experimental probability of each color based on the table.
Outcome | Occurrence
Pink | 36
Brown | 33
The experiment had 69 trials. The probabilities are clearly
36/69 = 12/23
and
33/69 = 11/23
In part C, you are asked to find the experimental probability of each color based on the table. The table shows the number of occurrences for each color: 36 occurrences of pink and 33 occurrences of brown.
To find the experimental probability, you need to divide the number of occurrences by the total number of selections. Since you are repeatedly choosing a rubber band and putting it back in the box, the total number of selections is the sum of the occurrences for both colors.
Total number of selections = 36 + 33 = 69
Now, to find the experimental probability of pink, divide the number of occurrences of pink by the total number of selections:
Experimental probability of pink = 36/69
Similarly, to find the experimental probability of brown, divide the number of occurrences of brown by the total number of selections:
Experimental probability of brown = 33/69
Both of these probabilities should be written as fractions in simplest form.
To find the experimental probability of each color based on the table, you need to divide the number of occurrences of each color by the total number of trials.
In this case, the table shows that the color "Pink" occurred 36 times and the color "Brown" occurred 33 times.
To find the experimental probability of getting a pink rubber band, you divide the number of occurrences of pink rubber bands by the total number of trials:
Experimental Probability of Pink = 36 / (36 + 33)
To find the experimental probability of getting a brown rubber band, you divide the number of occurrences of brown rubber bands by the total number of trials:
Experimental Probability of Brown = 33 / (36 + 33)
Simplifying the fractions, if possible, would give you the final answers.
