The following histogram summarizes the number of points Nate has scored each game this season Based on this data what is a reasonable estimate of the probabilit class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

8/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 different amount of points, but there are 8 in the 8-11 points category. That means that most likely Nate will score 8-11 with a 8/25 chance that he will.

The reasonable estimate of the probability that Nate scores 8-11 points next basketball game is given in option [tex](D)[/tex] i.e.  [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] .

What is experimental probability ?

Experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

Experimental probability [tex]=\frac{Number\ of\ favorable\ outcomes }{Total\ Number\ of\\ outcomes}[/tex]

We have,

From histogram,

Total number of outcomes score points[tex]=3+5+8+6+2+1=25[/tex]

And,

Number of  favorable outcomes on point scores [tex]8-11[/tex] [tex]=8[/tex]

So,

Probability that Nate scores [tex]8-11[/tex] points [tex]=\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

So, the Probability that Nate scores [tex]8-11[/tex] points is [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] .

Hence, we can say that the reasonable estimate of the probability that Nate scores 8-11 points next basketball game is given in option [tex](D)[/tex] i.e. [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] .
