The experimental probability of each outcome (landing open side up, landing closed side up, and landing on its side) is given as:
[tex]P_e(A) = \dfrac{1}{50} = 0.02\\\\P_e(B) = \dfrac{4}{50} = 0.08\\\\P_e(C) = \dfrac{44}{50} = 0.88\\\\[/tex]
What is experimental probability?
Experimental probability calculates the probability of some event from the results of experiments.
For an event E, we get the experimental probability of that event
[tex]P_e(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of times E occurred}}{\text{Number of times experiments was done}}[/tex]
where, [tex]P_e(E)[/tex] is denoting experimental probability of occurrence of E.
For the given case, if we name the events for results of tossing of paper cup as:
- A = Event of getting open side up
- B = Event of getting close side up
- C = Event of that cup landing on sides
Then, as it is given that:
Number of times paper cup was tossed = 50
- Number of times A occurred = 1
- Number of times B occurred = 5
- Number of times C occurred = 44
Thus, their experimental probabilities are obtained as:
[tex]P_e(A) = \dfrac{1}{50} = 0.02\\\\P_e(B) = \dfrac{4}{50} = 0.08\\\\P_e(C) = \dfrac{44}{50} = 0.88\\\\[/tex]
