A. C EVALUATE Determine the experimental probability: Rock, Paper, Scissors In 31 tries, Eli beat Janine 11 times. What is the probability that Janine won? In 60 tries, May won 20 times. What is the probability that May won? In 40 tries, Ryan won over Ghie 10 times. What is the probability that Ghie won? 1. a. b. C.
Answer:
The probability of winning a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is 1/3, since there are three possible outcomes (Win, Lose, Draw). Therefore, the probability of Janine winning, given that she won 11 times in 31 tries, is given by:
P(Janine wins) = 11/31 = 11/31
Similarly, the probability of May winning, given that she won 20 times in 60 tries, is given by:
P(May wins) = 20/60 = 20/60
Finally, the probability of Ghie winning, given that he won 10 times in 40 tries, is given by:
P(Ghie wins) = 10/40 = 10/40
Therefore, the experimental probability of Janine, May, and Ghie winning, respectively, are:
11/31
20/60
10/40
Since P(Janine wins) + P(May wins) + P(Ghie wins) = 1, the experimental probabilities add up to 1 as expected.
