Question

Lesson 13.3 Assignment page 4 3. Determine if each probability can be determined experimentally, theoretically, or both. Explain your reasoning. a. Humans will land on Mars in the next 10 years. Theorelical b. A number cube is rolled two times and the product of the two numbers is recorded. A box contains red, white, and blue marbles and you are not allowed to look inside the box. You reach in and grab a blue marble. c. d. A coin is tossed ten times and the results are recorded. e. The next car to pass you will be silver in color.

Explanation / Answer

Question 3

(a) Here the probability that man will land on mars is can be calculated experimentally as there is data or theoretical value present to calculate this probability.

(b) Here the probability can be calculated theoretically and experimentally both. As theoretically, we know the probability but by doing experiment we can also calculate this probability.

(c) Here it can be both theoretically and experimental probability. As experimentally if we do this experiment numerous time we will get the probability of getting a blue marble.

(d) This is also the case of theoretical and experimental probability. As we can do the experiment or we can know it by theory of the probability.

(e) Here it is also a case of theoretical probability. As we sit down and watch there will only two outcomes as yes or no that a silver car assess you so experiment we cannot calculate its probability, so , we need theory or parameters like the rate of silver car per hour.
