Question

A baseball team averages one win to every one loss. Use a simulation to find each experimental probability for three games.

P(1 win and 2 losses) and P(three losses)

Answer 1

To simulate the baseball games, we can use a random number generator or a coin. Let's use a coin, where heads represents a win and tails represents a loss.

Simulating three games:
- HHT: 2 wins and 1 loss
- HTH: 2 wins and 1 loss
- THH: 2 wins and 1 loss
- TTH: 1 win and 2 losses
- THT: 1 win and 2 losses
- HTT: 1 win and 2 losses
- TTT: 3 losses

The experimental probability of getting 1 win and 2 losses is 3/8 or 0.375.
The experimental probability of getting 3 losses is 1/8 or 0.125.

Answer 2

Answer: I think it's P(1 win and 2 losses)

Step-by-step explanation: That is most accurate because there are 3 games, and you can't split 3 in half. (Well you can but then it would equal 1.5 and you can't win or lose a game 1.5 to 1.5). So splitting 3 is most accurate if you do 2 for 1 and 3 for another.
