Question

Use the table to answer the question.

Plant Types A B C D E
Number of Seedlings 100 140 80 60 40
A farmer conducted an inventory on his two square kilometers of rainforest; the results are in the table. He plans on randomly selecting a seedling to experiment on when he goes back to the forest. What is the probability that he will randomly pick a type B plant? Write your answer in the simplest form of a fraction.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

There are a total of 100 + 140 + 80 + 60 + 40 = 420 seedlings.

The probability of picking a type B plant is the number of type B seedlings divided by the total number of seedlings, which is 140 / 420 = 1 / 3.

Therefore, the probability that the farmer will randomly pick a type B plant is 1/3.

Answer 2

Company X tested its light bulbs to see how long they would last. On a production line, 2,500 bulbs were taken and tested. The department in charge reported that out of 2,500 bulbs, there were 2,200 bulbs that burnt out after more than 1,500 hours of use. Lucy purchased a light bulb from Company X. What is the likelihood that it will burn for more than 1,500 hours? Write your answer in decimal form.(1 point)

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Out of 2,500 bulbs tested, 2,200 bulbs burnt out after more than 1,500 hours of use.

The likelihood that Lucy's light bulb from Company X will burn for more than 1,500 hours is given by the ratio of the number of bulbs that burnt for more than 1,500 hours to the total number of bulbs tested.

Likelihood = Number of bulbs burning for more than 1,500 hours / Total number of bulbs
Likelihood = 2,200 / 2,500
Likelihood = 0.88

Therefore, the likelihood that Lucy's light bulb will burn for more than 1,500 hours is 0.88.

Answer 4

The letter tiles C , A , R , E , and S are placed in a box. Without looking, Jorelle picks a letter tile from the box and records the result before placing it back. He repeats the procedure 100 times and observes the following results:

Outcomes C A R E S
Frequency 20 25 30 10 15
Based on the observed frequency, what is the probability that Jorelle will pick a letter R ? The answer should be in percent form.

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total number of trials Jorelle conducted is 100.

The frequency of picking the letter R is 30.

The probability of picking the letter R is the frequency of R divided by the total number of trials:

Probability = Frequency of R / Total number of trials
Probability = 30 / 100
Probability = 0.3

To convert the probability to a percentage, multiply by 100:

Probability as a percentage = 0.3 * 100
Probability as a percentage = 30%

Therefore, based on the observed frequency, the probability that Jorelle will pick the letter R is 30%.

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the largest discrepancy between the experimental and expected probability, we need to calculate the expected probability based on a fair dice (since each face has an equal chance of being rolled), compare it to the experimental probability, and identify the largest difference.

1. Calculate the total frequency of outcomes:
Total Frequency = 10 + 9 + 6 + 15 + 13 + 8 = 61 trials

2. Calculate the expected probability for each outcome:
Expected Probability = 1/6 = 16.67%

3. Calculate the expected frequency for each outcome:
Expected Frequency = Total Frequency * Expected Probability
Expected Frequency for each outcome:
2: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
4: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
6: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
8: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
10: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
12: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17

4. Calculate the discrepancy between the experimental and expected frequency for each outcome:
Discrepancy = |Experimental Frequency - Expected Frequency|

Finding the discrepancies for each outcome:
2: |10 - 10.17| = 0.17
4: |9 - 10.17| = 1.17
6: |6 - 10.17| = 4.17
8: |15 - 10.17| = 4.83
10: |13 - 10.17| = 2.83
12: |8 - 10.17| = 2.17

5. Identify the largest discrepancy:
The largest discrepancy is 4.83, which corresponds to the outcome of 8.

Therefore, the largest discrepancy between the experimental and expected probability of this experiment is 4.83% when the outcome 8 is considered.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the smallest discrepancy between the experimental and expected probability, we need to calculate the expected probability based on a fair die (since each face has an equal chance of being rolled), compare it to the experimental probability, and identify the smallest difference.

1. Calculate the total frequency of outcomes:
Total Frequency = 10 + 9 + 6 + 15 + 13 + 8 = 61 trials

2. Calculate the expected probability for each outcome:
Expected Probability = 1/6 = 16.67%

Expected Frequency = Total Frequency * Expected Probability
Expected Frequency for each outcome:
2: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
4: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
6: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
8: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
10: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17
12: 61 * 1/6 = 10.17

4. Calculate the discrepancy between the experimental and expected frequency for each outcome:
Discrepancy = |Experimental Frequency - Expected Frequency|

Finding the discrepancies for each outcome:
2: |10 - 10.17| = 0.17
4: |9 - 10.17| = 1.17
6: |6 - 10.17| = 4.17
8: |15 - 10.17| = 4.83
10: |13 - 10.17| = 2.83
12: |8 - 10.17| = 2.17

5. Identify the smallest discrepancy:
The smallest discrepancy is 0.17, which corresponds to the outcome of 2.

Therefore, the smallest discrepancy between the experimental and expected probability of this experiment is 0.17, when the outcome is 2.

Answer 18

Use the table to answer the question.

Outcomes K I N D
Frequency 120 140 105 135
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K , I , N , D . Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

Answer 19

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant (since K and N are consonants) on the next spin, we first need to determine the total frequency of the consonants (K and N) and then calculate the probability.

1. Calculate the total frequency of all outcomes:
Total Frequency = 120 (K) + 140 (I) + 105 (N) + 135 (D) = 500 spins

2. Calculate the total frequency of consonants (K and N):
Frequency of Consonants = Frequency of K (120) + Frequency of N (105) = 225 spins

3. Calculate the probability of spinning a consonant:
Probability of Consonant = Frequency of Consonants / Total Frequency
Probability of Consonant = 225 / 500
Probability of Consonant = 0.45

The approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.45 or 45%.

Answer 20

The letter tiles C, A, R, E , and S are placed in a box. Without looking, Jorelle picks a letter tile from the box and records the result before placing it back. He repeats the procedure 100 times and observes the following results:

Outcomes C A R E S
Frequency 20 25 30 10 15
Based on the observed frequency, develop a probability model for this experiment. Express the probability in decimal form, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 21

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To develop a probability model based on the observed frequencies, we need to calculate the probability of each outcome occurring in decimal form, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

1. Calculate the total number of trials:
Total Frequency = 20 (C) + 25 (A) + 30 (R) + 10 (E) + 15 (S) = 100 trials

2. Calculate the probability for each outcome:
- Probability of C = Frequency of C / Total Frequency = 20 / 100 = 0.20
- Probability of A = Frequency of A / Total Frequency = 25 / 100 = 0.25
- Probability of R = Frequency of R / Total Frequency = 30 / 100 = 0.30
- Probability of E = Frequency of E / Total Frequency = 10 / 100 = 0.10
- Probability of S = Frequency of S / Total Frequency = 15 / 100 = 0.15

3. Round each probability to the nearest hundredth:
- Probability of C = 0.20
- Probability of A = 0.25
- Probability of R = 0.30
- Probability of E = 0.10
- Probability of S = 0.15

Therefore, the probability model based on the observed frequencies, expressed in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth, is:
- P(C) = 0.20
- P(A) = 0.25
- P(R) = 0.30
- P(E) = 0.10
- P(S) = 0.15

Answer 22

Use the tables to answer the question.

Simon’s Results

Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 5 15
Bowl B 16 4
Clark’s Results

Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 45 55
Bowl B 60 40
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Simon and Clark repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. Whose results will give you a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl? Explain your answer.

(1 point)

Answer 23

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine whose results provide a better indication of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl, we need to consider the consistency of the selections. Consistency is important for drawing conclusions about proportions.

Comparing Simon's and Clark's results:

Simon's Results:
- Bowl A: 5 white and 15 red
- Bowl B: 16 white and 4 red

Clark's Results:
- Bowl A: 45 white and 55 red
- Bowl B: 60 white and 40 red

Looking at Simon's results, the number of selections made is quite low (only 20 total selections per bowl). The small number of selections may not provide a reliable indication of the true proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. Simon's results might be influenced by random chance due to the small sample size.

In contrast, Clark's results are based on a significantly larger number of selections (100 total selections per bowl). The larger sample size allows for a more reliable estimation of the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl. Clark's results provide a better indication of the true proportions of white and red balls in each bowl due to the larger sample size.

Therefore, Clark's results give a better indication about the proportion of white and red balls in each bowl compared to Simon's results due to the larger sample size, which leads to more reliable conclusions.

Answer 24

Use the table to answer the question.

Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 5 15
Bowl B 16 4
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Simon repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. Using Simon’s results, what is the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A? The answer needs to be in percent form.

Answer 25

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results, we will use the frequency of red balls selected from Bowl A and divide it by the total number of balls selected from Bowl A. This will give us the experimental probability.

From Simon's results:
- Number of red balls selected from Bowl A: 15
- Total number of balls selected from Bowl A: 5 (white) + 15 (red) = 20

Experimental Probability of selecting a red ball from Bowl A = Number of red balls selected from Bowl A / Total number of balls selected from Bowl A
Experimental Probability of selecting a red ball from Bowl A = 15 / 20
Experimental Probability of selecting a red ball from Bowl A = 0.75

To express the probability in percent form, we multiply by 100:
Experimental Probability of selecting a red ball from Bowl A in percent = 0.75 * 100% = 75%

Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A using Simon's results is 75%.
