Question

Mrs. Rutteledge has one of her students do a probability demonstration. The student uses tape to mark a line on the floor and spins a top in the middle of the line. He then records whether the top stops to the left or to the right of the line. This is repeated 40 times, with the results shown in the table.

Location where top stopped: left of line right of line
Frequency: 28 12


What is the relative frequency that the top stops to the left of the line?

Answer 1

70% Is Right

Explanation:

Took the K12 Unit Test

Answer 2

Answer: 70%

Explanation:

Given: The total number of times given event is occurred=40

The number of times the top stops to the left of the line = 28

Then, the relative frequency that the top stops to the left of the line is given by :-

`\frac{\texr{number of times top stops to the left }}{\text{Total times}}*100\\\\=(28)/(40)*100=0.7*100=70\%`

Hence, the relative frequency that the top stops to the left of the line is 70%.
