Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Question 9 • TN-Algebra II B SC 26-27 (For Credit)

A random number generator is used to create a list of 150 single-digit numbers. Of those 150 numbers, 72 are odd and 78 are even. The number 9 was generated 15 times.To the nearest whole percent, what is the experimental probability of an odd number other than 9 being generated?

Answer
A
38%
B
48%
C
52%
D
79%

Explanation

There are 72 odd numbers total, and 15 of them are 9s, so 72 − 15 = 57 were odd numbers other than 9. The experimental probability is 57 ÷ 150 = 0.38, or 38%. The correct choice is 38%.
