Each field trip boxed lunch for Mrs. Patel’s class will come with one of five different pieces of fruit: apple, banana, grapes, orange, or peach. Using the line of the random number table shown to do a simulation and assigning 2 or 3 for banana, what is the probability a boxed lunch will have a banana?
Line 20 82244 34392 96607 17220 51984 10753 76272 50985 97593 34320
A. 16%
B. 18%
C. 20%
D. 28%
I also really need the answers to the full quiz PLEASE I need them as soon as possible.Please that would be great!
To find the probability of a boxed lunch having a banana, we need to count the number of times "2" or "3" appears in the given random number table. These numbers will represent the event of getting a banana.
Let's analyze each digit one by one:
- Line 20: 82244 34392 96607 17220 51984 10753 76272 50985 97593 34320
Counting the number of times "2" or "3" appears, we get:
1) 34392
2) 17220
3) 34320
So, there are 3 occurrences of "2" or "3" in the given random number table.
To calculate the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (getting a banana) by the total number of possible outcomes (the total number of fruit options, which is 5 in this case).
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Probability = 3 (favorable outcomes) / 5 (total possible outcomes)
Simplifying the fraction, the probability comes out to be 3/5 or 0.6.
Converting it to a percentage:
Probability = 0.6 * 100% = 60%
Therefore, the probability of a boxed lunch having a banana is 60%.
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide you the answers to the full quiz as I do not have access to external databases or answer keys. It is best if you try to answer the questions yourself or consult the relevant resources provided by your teacher.
