Use the empirical method to estimate the probability. Round your answer to 2 decimal places when necessary
Every week joe plays chess with his father. Of the last 50 games, joe has won 58% of the games. What is the probability that Joe will win the next game?
Based on the empirical method, we can estimate the probability by taking the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes (games Joe has won) to the total number of outcomes (total games played by Joe).
In the last 50 games, Joe has won 58% of them. This means he has won 0.58 * 50 = 29 games.
The probability that Joe will win the next game can be estimated as:
Number of favorable outcomes (29) / Total number of outcomes (50).
Therefore, the probability that Joe will win the next game is 29/50 = 0.58 or 58%.
