Question

Jan's parents let her pour out the family's coin jar so she could record the number of each type of coin it contained. The results are given in the table. Coin Penny Nickel Dime Quarter Frequency 124 52 46 16 Drag and drop to match the correct value to the given experimental probability, rounded to the nearest percent. Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse. the experimental probability for Dimes in the jar 7%, 19%, 22%, 24%, 28%

Answer 1

The experimental probability of finding a dime in Jan's coin jar is found by dividing the number of dimes (46) by the total number of coins (238). After calculating, the result is multiplied by 100 to get a percentage, which gives us approximately 19.33%, rounded to 19%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the experimental probability of Jan finding a dime in the coin jar, we use the formula for experimental probability, which is the number of times the event occurs divided by the total number of trials.

In this case, the event is Jan finding a dime, and the trials are the total number of coins.

We are given that there are 46 dimes and the total number of coins is the sum of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters: 124 + 52 + 46 + 16 = 238 coins.

The experimental probability, P(Dime), is calculated as:
P(Dime) = Number of Dimes / Total Number of Coins = 46 / 238

To express this probability as a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
((46 / 238) * 100) which approximately equals 19.33%, rounded to the nearest percent, gives us 19%.
