Answer:
A. [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
C. B (you already got that right)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the probability of something, we have to see how many times it happened over the total amount of attempts.
On Tuesday the target was hit 18 times in 30 attempts. So our probability fraction is [tex]\frac{18}{30}[/tex] which simplifies to [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex].
Looking at the total results, we can see Ben hit the target 84 times out of 120, so the fraction is [tex]\frac{84}{120}[/tex] which simplifies to [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex].
There’s always one rule of statistics/probability - the more data the better. If we want to create a more reliable probability, we’d want more data, and the total data gives us more than just Tuesday’s Data.
Hope this helped!
