As sports journalist ran a simulation to determine which Olympic athlete would win the 100 m sprint. She ran the simulation 200 times and recorded the results in the following table. Essay 59, SAB 58, athlete 45, at 38 based on the data from the simulation, what is the probability of acid or D winning the event?
To calculate the probability of acid or D winning the event, we need to find the total number of times either athlete Acid or athlete D won the 100 m sprint out of the total number of simulations, which is 200.
Acid won 59 times
D won 58 times
Total wins by Acid or D = 59 + 58 = 117
Therefore, the probability of Acid or D winning the event is:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability = 117 / 200
Probability = 0.585 or 58.5%
So, the probability of either athlete Acid or athlete D winning the event is 58.5%.
