Please complete A-F

The accompanying table shows the frequencies that a football team called a running play or a passing play for various down and distance situations for the first five games of a season. Complete parts a) through f) below Click here to view the data table for the football team a) What is the probability that the team will pass the ball on any given down? Football Play Frequencies Run Pass Down and distance 1st down and 10 or more yards to go 2nd down and 6 or more yards to go 2nd down and 5 or less yards to go 3rd down and 2 or more yards to go 3rd down and 1 yard to go 56 27 51 4 Print Done

Explanation / Answer

Here the question is only given for part A.

The probability that the team will pass the ball on any given down is computed as:

= Total frequency of passing instances / [ Total frequency of passing instances + Total frequency of running instances ]

= [ 80 + 51 + 9 + 60 + 4 ] / [ 80 + 51 + 9 + 60 + 4 + 56 + 27 + 18 + 2 + 1 ]

= 0.6623

Therefore the required probability here is 0.6623
