Question

so far this season Malia scored two goals and missed on her six other shots on goal what is the experimental probability that maria will score a goal on her next shot

Answer 1

Therefore the probability of Maria scoring on her next shot is
`(1)/(4)`.

Explanation:

i) Maria scored two goals and missed on her other six shots.

ii) Maria took a total of eight shots on the goal.

iii) On an average Maria scored twice in every eight shots or once in every four shots on the goal. So we can say that the probability of Maria scoring a goal on every shot on goal is one in four or
`(1)/(4)`.

iv) Therefore the probability of Maria scoring on her next shot is
`(1)/(4)`.
