Example Questions

Example Question #301 : Plane Geometry

Ashley has a square room in her apartment that measures 81 square feet. What is the circumference of the largest circular area rug that she can fit in the space?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, first calculate the length of each side of the room. 

The length of each side of the room is also equal to the length of the diameter of the largest circular rug that can fit in the room. Since , the circumference is simply

Example Question #1 : Develop A Uniform Probability Model By Observing Frequencies In Data Generated From A Chance Process: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.7b

Kelly spun a spinner, which is pictured below,  times. She recorded her results in the table provided. What is the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on the orange section?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The theoretical probability is what should happen. In this case, we have  spaces and  of those spaces is orange; thus, the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on orange should always be  or 

Example Question #2 : Finding Theoretical Probability

Kelly spun a spinner, which is pictured below,  times. She recorded her results in the table provided. What is the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on the yellow section?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The theoretical probability is what should happen. In this case, we have  spaces and  of those spaces is yellow; thus, the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on yellow should always be  or 

Example Question #3 : Finding Theoretical Probability

Kelly spun a spinner, which is pictured below,  times. She recorded her results in the table provided. What is the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on the green section?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The theoretical probability is what should happen. In this case, we have  spaces and  of those spaces is green; thus, the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on green should always be  

Example Question #183 : Statistics & Probability

Kelly spun a spinner, which is pictured below,  times. She recorded her results in the table provided. Is the experimental probability of landing on pink more likely, less likely, or equally likely in comparison to the theoretical probability?

Possible Answers:

Results can't be found based on the data provided 

Equally likely 

More likely 

Less likely 

Correct answer:

More likely 

Explanation:

The theoretical probability is what should happen. In this case, we have  spaces and  of those spaces is pink; thus, the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on pink should always be 

The experimental probability is what actually happened in an experiment. In this case, Kelly spun the spinner  times, and she landed on pink  times; thus, our experimental probability is 

In order to compare the theoretical probability and the experimental probability let's convert the fractions into decimals so we can put them on a number line:

2

A probability closer to  means that an event is more likely to occur. In this case,  is closer to ; thus, the experimental probability is more likely than the theoretical probability.
