Question

Nam has a bag of 8 chips numbered 1 to 8. He will perform an experiment to model the theoretical probability of pulling a chip with the number 6.

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the sentences.
Nam should pull a chip and replace it after each turn
A. as many times as possible
B. 8 times

, and then divide the number of times 6 occurs by
A. 8
B. the number of trials

. After many trials, the experimental probability will be close to the theoretical probability of
A. 1/8
B. 2/3
C. 1/6
.

Answer 1

B is the correct answer I believe

Answer 2

Answer:

1. A

2. B

3. A

Step-by-step explanation:

He should conduct the experiment as many times as possible, more the better estimate can be obtained.

Record the no. of 6's and divide the no. of trials to get an estimate of the probability of 6

After many trials, the experimental probability would get closer and closer to the theoretical probability which is 1/8
